Call Salomon and speak to warrenty or take them back to where you bought them.

i think salomon is dipping into way too many markets these days and their quality control might be slipping. just my two cents though.

salomon used to make some real kickass skis and still do but there quality is definatly slipping or it could be the fact its there first year really using sidewall construction vs there old caps in most of the skis so i say give em a few years and theyll have there skis back to top notch. also sandwhich chips on almost any ski and its going to happen theres nothing to do about it but sucks about ur edge warrenty those and get some new ones

on a normal ski when the edge brakes it just pulls out and falls off eventually, when an edge armor ski  edge brakes the edge on one side is connected to the other side, so when ur edge should just fall off it cant, it just starts flapping up and down ripping the p-tex, tell the edge armor brakes and lets go

I work in a shop and I know Salomon will warranty that...

I haven't seen any issues with Dumont's or Suspects... The kids are super stoked on them.

Salomon skis when from cap to sandwich so it's understandable that there may be a few cases of issues... Plus they're plant changed too.

All Salomon twins are made at the same spot as their snowboards and there were minimal quality issues when Salomon Snowboards went from CAP to Sandwich.

FYI - Armada's are made at the same place as Salomon and Atomic skis...

Salomon's quality has not gone down. On the contrary it is the best in the industry.

The worst I have seen at our shop are k2, Rossi and 4front being the absolute worst.

hey man, hope you get this figured out. i read most of the thread, an it sounded like you are eather heavy and agressive or you have bad luck and got a defective pair. eather way, send them in! i think that almost any ski company would be willing to replace those, cuz freestyle skiing isnt big enough to have super huge companys like walmart that obvoiously would care about it. so ya man, hope it works, and good luck! and fyi, i ave heared alot about solomans lineup for 09, and it all seems fairly legit, so im pretty sure your one in only few who is having a problem, they sound like sick skis!

sorry about the spelling!

The brake is the exact same brake that they have been using since the old solly race bindings.

Brakes break.
