Question about crack

i've had exactly one crack in one edge of one of my skis for almost two whole seasons, and after riding this week for two days, and definitely hitting fewer rails than i usually do, i have three cracks in a different edge, one of which looks like it's just starting to separate from the sidewall. so why did my shit just go crazy all of a sudden? but i have a little questionnaire:

your skis?
type of rails you slide?
how big you are?
how many cracks are in your edges?
have any of them ended up being detrimental to your skis' health?

Yeah from all these posts coming up about drugs I figured one about crack was bound to show up sooner or later.

I have an explaination to your cracks in your skis.Its because of the friction between the metal of the rail on your edges.The metal on your edges warms up to about 150C.Then when it hits the snow,your edge cools down so fast that it cracks and breaks.

Skis:Rossignol scratch fs 04
Rails:all types of rails
size: 6'
Cracks:none
Damage:none



Responsability,what's that?
