Ive heard this is a big issue with them.  Only thing i can think of that can solve the problem is tip and tail rivets.  Bottom line........they are a $300, one season ski.

You should probably throw them away and definitely DO NOT CONTACT THE LINE WARRANTY OFFICE.

i see no reason why the 08s should have delammed....mine are bulletproof. But definately go to the place you got them from and ask about a warranty from line....dont contact line directly though.....i had the 05/06 ones that went to hell in about a week, so at the end of the season i contacted the company i got them from(evogear) and they talked to k2/line and within 3 weeks of sending my old skis in, i got a new pair of 08s fo free

I believe he was being sarcastic about not contacting the warranty department... 
There was only a widespread problem with the first year invaders. This years are solid.  So get them warrantied, problem solved.
