alright, here's the deal....
1) i'm too lazy to figure out how to post these pics (help appreciated if you feel like it)
2) this is my ski after opening day at whistler (nov 18th). I'm not sure how much of it you'll be able to see, but there are sidewall stresses, a dent in the base, and topsheet separation from the back of the heelpiece on my binding to mid-sole.
one.
two.
three.
four.
3) they're less than a year old, so i'm taking them into the shop tomorrow to see what they can do for me. this really sucks, but hopefully armada's nice to me. good news is that they've never touched a rail.
