Hey guys,
I'm a new member, looks like a pretty sick website. Anyway I just got some new Volkl Dogens and have skied on them twice. Love them for the most part except one thing... The top of the ski is peeling. When I say peeling I mean you can see the core, one of the rips is probably 1 cm towards the middle of the ski, that's across the ski not into it. I rarely cross my skies and have never had any problem like this, especially with Volkls.

Thanks for the input

BTW I am probably a 4 out of five skier. Can do most every run on the mountain. Just started jibbing.

I'm about 6'1 165 pounds, pretty strong legs.

i ski my dogens really hard and they have about 50+ days on them this year and mine have been peeling like that since the first week. i already warrentied them once cuz i snapped the core after the tech fucked up mounting them. I think the peeling problem doesnt affect the structure much cuz my skis havent had any delaming problems yet and they are peeling quiete a bit. on one ski the top sheet is peeling about 25% across the ski and the core is visiable and i have been skiing with it like that for about a month now and hasnt gotten any worse. Although the sides peel alot i havent had any problems at all with the tips delaming or anything like that.

So Should I ask for a refund or what? Are they worth the damage?

Definitely warranty them, bring them into your shop and they should give you a new pair.
