I've personally never owned a pair that have top sheets that crack. These are 06-07 Scratch BC WRS. I've tried to epoxy that crap already. The crack does go deeper than just a superficial layer. I think those affected portions will eventually fall off. Maybe a warranty? seems like factory error, because I don't know what I could have done to cause that to happen.

Email rossi or take them to the shop you bought them at. Worth a shot.

it's a stress crack caused by your ski tips slapping down on the snow. right now it's fine, but it's the first step to delamenation, which is bad. I say you can ski with it for now, but if it starts to delam, try for a warrenty

^ HA! Must be the yellow ski then...I'll trade you for your white one. Any other thoughts? Would it be possible to warrenty them now? Seems like its the start of a problem, so why not take care of it sooner.

Both my rossi FS and rossi Wrs fs have that EXACT same thing.  Both of them are superficial and the tip only so i never bothered with warenty.

This is not really a warrentyable problem, and seems to occur in many cap construction skis and Rossis for some reason. The cracks don't really do anything, but if you start delaming hardcore then you should warrenty.

my bud broke the tip off a WRS. but y would you warrenty them now? theres still skiing. deal with it, when the seasons over take um in and send um back when they are actually screwed up.
