Sorry dude, you didn't take a chunk out of your bases on the ice. Its called hitting a rock, a rail, or something like that. Not ice.

definitely the solution is to put them in a box and mail them to a random address at 4frnt. works every time.

Try the shop you got them at...The edge on my STL's separated from the sidewall, plus the sidewall was coming out, and I emailed them like a month ago, no answer, so I called my shop, and they've sent new sticks.

You will shortly be receiving a great deal of anthrax.


... Threadstarter: that doesn't sound like a warrantee issue. It sounds like you beat up your STLs and they couldn't take it.

go through a shop. they will know if they are warrenteable, and most companies find it easier to deal with shops than individuals.

This is the right address. I called 4Frnt and this is the return address they gave me 3 months ago. Took about 10 days to get my new skis back from them. Do it.

definitely get in touch with the shop you purchased them from. The companies listen a lot better when CS comes beating down on their doorstep.

bahahahha you bought 4frnts and you mistakenly thought they came with a warranty bahahhahahahahahhahahahhahha

And "ice damage" isn't covered by warranty. Neither is topsheet chipping. Next time, buy real skis made by a company that doesn't suck dick.

they're plain with graffiti type writing on top. the 183s are white with like a greenish type writing, the 177s are black with gold and white writing, and i dont' remember what the other sizes look like. i personally don't really dig the graphic, but a bunch of kids at my shop do. the tnk's look pretty rad, but the msps and vcts are off the charts.

same here. it took a billion emails too. and a buch of phone calls. they're absolutely horrible in customer service like that. but when i did send them back i got a new pair right away. so that was nice on that side of the story.

shitty company. they make a terrible product, my stl's fell aprt in 2 weeks so i sent them countless emails with pics and talked to the local rep and they said no you used those too hard. edge was falling out on tip and tail, and the tail on one was definately delammed. The best they could do was give me proform on another pair of shitty skis.

I took my stl's into a shop for warranty. its definitely the easiest way. its been a few months and i havent gotten them back, so it may take you a while. I know people who have had problems with customer service and their warranty though. so good luck.

snapped mine last year after 3 days of skiing, it took so long before getting new ski but they did sent me this years ski at the beginning of this season, 3weeks after there wasnt a single edge on the ski, the base was almost coming out... but I just bought some rossi. I dont have anymore effort to put to get a ski that wont last.

In youre case, if u didnt get any answer from warranty@4frnt.com u should just emailed joe@4frnt.com I'm sure he will write you back. He is really nice about that usually. But I dont think youll get new skis for a chip or something like that ...good luck anyway
