Yeah i can't find my receipt and i don't think they are going to warranty them. It's like yeah we do park skis but if your skiing park with them,  they're not on warranty anymore

the shop should still have your sale on record, most every shop keeps track of this stuff in their computer system. take them in and just see. worst case is that the shop has to fix it themselves.

yea if you got them at a shop its super easy to warrenty that shit. not sure about atomic but other companies are super good about that stuff.

and if they dont, the shop guys should be able to fix it.

dunno ive had the 09/10 punx for 1.5 seasons, theyve taken a beating and still in good condition,

Rarely hear about punx being breaking so fast , maybe it was a crap batch...

Hey man since you live in quebec you have a legal warranti.

http://www.opc.gouv.qc.ca/webforms/SujetsConsommation/Autres/Garantie/Legale.aspx

 just read that and try too warranti them, if not you can go too ( cours des petites créances) and you will probably win

i've had my 09/10 punx (black and red ones? for 2 seasons now and there is absolutely nothing wrong with them. any damage is purely cosmetic, they don't have a single edge crack. havent had a single issue and they ski like new.

this could just be a shit batch of skis, but i will never buy another park ski other than the punx again.

My friend broke his in less than a month but they were warranted but I don't know if it was a shitty pair or if they are just shitty skies.
