I snapped my ski pretty much in two behind the heel binding today. Today was going to be my last or second to last day of the season so I guess it picked the right time to break, but I was wondering if I could get a new ski or a discount if I mailed it in.
If I can't I guess its ok because those skis gave me the best winter of my life.

I'm wondering if line is cool about that or if they really can't help you out.

Email Line, they'll tell you what to do. They're usually pretty cool about warranty issues. They'll either give you credit, or send you next years when they come out in like July (pretty sure they don't have any of this years anymore).

What you do with them from there is your business, but to me it sounds like they held up pretty well (at least for me, I'm used to having two or even 3 skis through-out the season).

1. Cut ski in half
2. Mount each half of the ski.

I will give them that. At least if you have issues they are good about it but its probly a rep they should be trying to get rid of. Like you will never see an "Broken Armada AR6--Help" thread.

Let us know, what happens with this, spread the word if Line comes through, which i believe they will. They stand behind their product. Skiing isn't serious...but a product defect is.
