thats not really delaming, little chips will happen because they are made with a sandwich construction.

MSPs do chip like that pretty often, but they hardly ever actually delam.

not really, no. most skis that have sandwich construction do that. my friends scratch FS have little chips, and he has skied them like that for over a year, and they are fine.

haha, yeah. delam is where the ski peels apart. (understand why they call it de laminating?). those are just chips from sharp edges diggin into the corners. in most circumstances its cosmetic. however, if the chip is deep enough that you can see past the sidewall (which is pretty deep on those skis), and see the wood core, you should epoxy it over, and it will be fine.

If it exposes the core, epoxy over it to seal out moisture.
