Ok, so I've had my 06-07 stl's since the beginning of the season, first i noticed that there was some top sheet chipping no big deal thats life. However now I've got a small but nasty core shot, a few deep scratches on the base, multiple edge crack things, plus some the edges are seperating from the under foot.
Has any one else had these problems I've been skiing on them 30-40 timesSsdadsSddsaa

yeah dont get me started on the topsheet chipping. what are the chances of these skis lasting another month and 1/2 till the end of the season?

I have ridden mine for about a month and they are falling apart.  They don't seem as though they are built that well.

I just got mine, and have ridden 3 days, mostly park with no real problems. I wasn't as stoked as I thought when I got them out of the box. They don't seem as well made as I thought they would be. First pair of 4FRNT's, might end up being my last.

yeah there deffinatly great skis and super fun but not if you have to keep fixing them and buy a new pair every year, great if you got money to throw away.

Top sheet is the top sheet, but the edges separating so quickly kinda worries me.

I'm looking to get the new STLs but want to know if 4Frnt have fixed up the durability issues surrounding the STL
