Ski Graphic Color Fading?

I have this years Chronics and as yall know they're SUPER bright and vivid.
Anyways I had a sticker and after a while a part of it peeled off. And you could see a clear outline of the sticker's shape. While looking at the ski as a whole there is no noticeable change/fading, when you look closely, it is significantly more vivid/"glowy" where the sticker was, out of direct sun.
Thoughts? Stories? Does this always happen/is it natural?

I've never seen this. But it makes sense, all colors fade over time when put in direct sun light.
I might have to put a sticker on the next pair of new skis I get and see if this happens.

Yeah, it will definitely happen. You could also give the area a quick clean with some soapy water, and a soft cloth. White top sheets get kinda stained from dirt I've found, and they look like a million bucks after you give them some cleaning. Still though they're likely faded by UV rays. Not the end of the world.

Yeah more like an observation than a problem

Doesn't matter. I'm not concerned about the ski at all and I'm not gonna cry to Line for a warranty. I don't mind. It's just tat I've never heard of the fading before.

Put anything in the sun and it will fade. Maybe I'll post a pic of my '08 Chronics, then you'll see what fade really is.

804 Orage fades the quickest of any colors during repeated UV exposure, hence your experience.
