I need warranty advice

Last night, my Look Pivot 14's DIN was down at like 4 or something (out of my 8-14 range). I got rental/repairs to tighten it back up to my usual DIN (I think) and I was off on my way. this is the second time it's happened, and they guy recommended I get the bindings warrantied. That would be a good idea, except later that night I flew into a fucking tree and snapped my ski at the toe piece, which may or may not have been because my DIN was too high.

What am I supposed to tell my shop, the truth, or a well constructed lie? I can't afford new skis.

I'll post a picture in a little bit of the skis.

Thanks guys

Well take the bindings back to the shop you got them from and let them warranty them for you. If you got them online then take them to a dealer and have them send them away for you(be ready to pay though). Make sure you have your original receipt, you will need that for a warranty.

As for the ski, thats not a warranty, you skied into a treei, no manufacturer will cover that. I sucks but you will have to get new skis. But you will be without bindings for a while if you warranty them anyway, so you have a little time (6-8 weeks usually) to find a deal on some skis.

Yah show that tree who is boss. Maybe use a little extortion, leave saws in a clear viewing area of the tree, make loud chainsaw noises whenever you ski past and if neither of those work slowly take of its branches one by one.
