Long story short, I snapped the tail of one of my Bluehouse MR's the first day on them.  I called Dan up and then I sent some pictures of the damage.  I hope I can at the least get one replaced.

I was going off a little drop,and I got bucked by the takeoff and went backseat.  One ski popped off, one ski broke.

I'm sure they will help you, but I hope that wasn't the picture you sent them because it doesn't even really show the damage.

That just looks like a chip in the top sheet.  Get a side view of the ski where if snapped.

The warranty service is what sold me on Bluehouse so they should come through... I have a couple hours on my MR's and the top sheet is pretty weak sauce but they ski nice... hopefully the tails hold up on the rest of them and somehow you got a lemon or else they are in a world of hurt...

Im lazy so I only posted that one up, its to show how the tail is bent the wrong way.  I sent a close up of a section of massively cracked sidewall, and another one showing the topsheet separation.

^ Same thing happened last year, and I got a new pair with no problem.  Once I knew not to land like an asshole, I was able to keep them in good shape.  I have a feeling I might be the only person to break a Bluehouse this year lol.

Ouch, I don't think you would have a problem getting a new pair though.

They were also pretty bent when it first happened.  I flipped the ski over, bent it back and kept skiing.

wow.. I don't care who it is or what skis they are riding but I don't have the balls to laugh at em when their rides break.  why make fun when people (including myself) being stoked about new purchases like picking up a pair of bluehouse's  and when one lemmon shows up u laugh??

not cool bro.
