Soo today, I threw a five of like a 45 footer at attitash. I landed a bit backseat near the top of the landing (switch, obviously), and kind of fell backwards down the landing.
I get up, unhurt, and find that my 2006 166 foil is pretty much snapped at the tail. FUCK.

Does anyone know what the deal is with warranties for this type of thing? salomon website says just 1 year for alpine skis, but that seems kinda cheap...soo

But ya your right I definitely should be grateful it was my ski that broke and not me. Still though, hope I don;'t have to spend another $400:(

And to the kid who asked, they put up a realllly nice smooth 45 ft gap this weekend at attitash.

i don't know, i guess its the foam core,
they used to be super poppy for a couple of weeks max, then die on you, so they are great for gapers who don't ski often but if you want to work your ski like a russian bride than buy something with a wood core..
they might not even suck anymore, they just used to, and i do give them props for innovation w/ the 1080 and pocket rocket, but nowadays you gotta go k2, armada, dynastar, volkl, 4front.. pretty much anybody else.. in my humble opinion,

also, salamon graphics suck monkey anus, and who would ride a ski called the 'thruster'? thats like a nickname for a weightlifting male stripper in a gay bar

If you are skrewed and need a pair of sticks, I will mail you my old one's.  Just have to pay the 20 shipping or whatever.  I have some old fischers 167's that I could give you or some old public enimies 173 that I could give you. Just a thought if you are in a bind.  They aren't in the best shape, but they work.

Boo who buddy cheer the fuck up!!! I fucked up 3 pairs of skis in the last ten days. First snapped my 07 PEs landing a 3 into pow backseat. It was already cracked though. The next time i went up skiing, i ripped out the heel piece to my karmas landing switch. I gotta get the those mounted center now. Yesterday i snapped my busted touble makers ski bumps. Today i just remounted up my old red and yellow Scratch FS. only thing got skiable right now.

yeah it just depends on what type of break and how bad.  i got a compression fracture in my back 2 years ago and i was only out 5 weeks and i didnt have to do PT either.

Yeah... at least you didn't hurt yourself bro.. I strained my MCL and it sucks... but im still better off than some people... skis are replaceable immediately, broken bones and knees are not... keep shreddin.
