Ski Problem, Warranty?

i bought some new sprayer bc's a year and a half ago and i bought some new rossi bindings to go with them. i believe that when you put a rossi binding on a rossi ski they make it a two year warranty, please correct me if i'm wrong cause if i am then i have no argument. but anyways i recently noticed that on the base towards the tip of one of my skis, there's a large bubble near the edge that's probably about 2.5-3 inches long. it just seems really weird that it would bubble on the base especially so far up on the ski where it barely rides on the snow. does any one know if rossi would care to do anything about this or if i have any case towards getting them replaced or something. i know this may seem a bit stupid or whatever, but i figured it couldn't hurt to ask and see what you guys think, maybe from experience, before i contact rossi. thanks

email them and include pictures of the skis and a copy of your sales reciept.  or take them to the shop you bought them at, they may be able to help you.  is there excessive rail/jibbing damage?  if so rossi will say no go.  just a thought, if you waxed them yourself maybe you left your iron on them too long and the base bubbled, thatll happen, not unheard of that a shop would do the same thing tho if you got them waxed at a shop that hot waxes.  but yeah, email rossi with pics and sales reciept.

In Europe it's a 2 year warranty for skis, 4 for skis + bindings.

Sounds like damage but try them. Or just get it fixed.

there is some good damage underfoot on one ski where the edge is ripped out which won't look too good to rossi but my issue is much farther up on the tip almost beyond the riding surface, so do you think they would even bother looking into it if it looks like this

Your chances of getting warranty go down times 15000 if you have jib damage

yea i figured, the only real argument i have is that the bubble is no where near the real damage but it still isn't much of an argument. i'll email rossi or something and just give it a shot anyways though

it's weird taht it would bubble way up there. maybe when you leaned them up against a wall or something when you were done skiing moisture in the ski where the edge is ripped out evaporated inside teh ski and went to teh top? idk, I know this isn't related to warranty really either, but it's a theory........

it could be impact damage done to the edge. And the "teeth" on the edges that get imbedded into the ski pushing out, a vice/clamp should be able to fix it
