Armada warranty : splitting (delam) in the middle of the ski

Alright so I've had my AR7s since the middle of February, not very long (about half a season). I've been loving them so far, with no problems, until now. I noticed that on one ski, it seems to be delaming in the nose, but it doesn't start even close to the tip.

It's a section 5 to 6 inches long, and the space between the cap and the edge/base is about 3mm.

There's a small edge dent about an inch above where the splitting starts, and I'm not sure if it had anything to do with this, so I'll include so pictures.

Compared to the other ski:

The red lines are where the splitting starts and finishes, the yellow line is where the edge dent is.

I think it's reasonable to get this warrantied, any thoughts?

Thanks.

you can always try to get them warrantied. doesnt hurt to try. if that doesnt work. toss some epoxy in the split and let it dry.

As is the case with every thread about warranty....we are all speculating.  Why ask us, call Armada or even better email them with pics.  I can say whatever I want, but I can't replace your skis.

I dont think any of us can replace your ski for you, have you considered, I dont know, contacting the company that made them?
