i already lost a piece of edge and one ski separated at the tip and i sent them in to be warrantied( by the way they are salomon suspects)

i was wondering if anyone else has had their new skis break already

i am curious as to what brands hold up the best

i sort of broke my edge, got a partial delam underfoot, and i think i cracked my core when i tried skiing some powder with my T-Halls, but all of the damage has been my fault. 

I guess i ski to reckless :D

I have already had a pull out on one of my bindings and a partial de-lam.... it all depends on how bad you beat them

maybe you don't know yet austin, but they are dumonts, theyre sitting at ski hut with your name on em... so just to let you know, they must have replaced them with dumonts (176).

My edge cracks led to my sidewall falling off. I blame shorted lincoln's and broken grinds.
