After waiting over 3 months for the elizabeths from line. having line say oh next week next week next week you will get them. i finally get them and ski them, yes they are a cool ski. but 1 month into my ownership of them the bindings started to tear out of one ski. so i brought them in and had them helicoiled bback in.
1 week later the binding tore out again. i got new holes redrilled nearly an inch from the others.. 2 weeks after that while skiing the high traverse at alta the bindings tore out of the ski again. i lost the ski down the mountain. the only thing harder than finding it was skiing down with one ski on 2 poles in one hand and a binding in the other.
this is obviously a defective ski. so i called line. the girl who answered told me that wood cores dont rip out. the funny thing is that when i had them remoutned the people at the shop said line is an idiotic company not to put a mounting plate in the ski to help hold in the binding. they said the ski can flex too hard and just make the holes weak.
k2 had this same problem with the fujatives. but k2 admitted fault and fixed the problem. and the skis that broke,,... as far as i know.
line wont admit they are wrong and they pushed blame on the people who mounted them. a place who mounts 20 pairs of fat skis per day. their response was simply wood cores dont rip out.
how could i expect to get my skis or just one ski replaced by a company who cant afford to pay their own team so they all get dropped. line used to bend over backwards for us customers, and i didnt see it now. my advise to you is to get some other companys skis people who are better with their warrantys consistantly not just the first few years of operations. i will never buy another pair of line skis.
