Okay i got my skies this year my first twins and I've used them about 20 times and they are the elan m02,2's nice ski. Anyways my question is that my ski is loosing lots of the paint from the top and chips are coming off it and its pissing me off and this is where you guys come in does this happen to everyone? i know it doesn't really matter to the structure but i'm wondering if it can get repaired and if is just natural cause its messing with the nice paint on my skis.

its pretty normal dont worry about it, if they are major gashes in the sidewall etc then get you can get them filled with epoxy.
shouldnt be much of a problem

Its pretty normal. Just take it into your local ski shop and ask them to fix it up for you.

they wont/can't repair the scratches on the top but they will probably file down any gashes you have done on the topsheet/sidewall to make them smooth again, then if it is deep enough to make it worthwhile they will put some epoxy in the gash and when it dries, sand it back sop its smooth again.
repeat for other monster chips + gashes
