You mean like there was a small like 1 mm spot between the edges at the tip and tails? I think all 4frnt skis have that because they don't use full wrap edges.

I guess just look over the skis really carefully, I think Salomons quality control would be more stringent than 4frnt's, especially 4frnt a few years ago, just because Salomon is so much bigger a company.

i am the friend with tnks. i think that the cracks might have been from rails but i didn't hit that many rails. the edges in the tip and tail also came out. they were the first year of tnks so i think they just needed to sort out those problems. those dumonts are the first year or dumont, correct? maybe you should look close at the edges
