ok I skied my first day on my brand new pe's on monday and when I got home I noticed a big gash in the sidewall and part of the topsheet... my leg hit a tree but I wasnt going that fast and I dont think my skis hit anything, so Im not sure if it was from that or not... do u think I could get them warrantied considering it was only my first day and I wasnt abusing them or anything? or is there any way to fill in the gash at all? I would post a pic, but Im not sure how...

That's only cosmetic. Warranty is for if there's something wrong with the ski.

dude, they are jib stick! its not from a tree, its from your edges. abs sidewalls suck. but it isnt an immediat problem. but you should go to homie depot and buy a thing of epoxy, (keep it to repair future shit) and fill it in. sand and cut off the extra. while there is fiberglass over the wood, you still dont want to get the core wet, casue it will never drie, and it will rot.

you should see this gash though; there's a pic in the misc. section. Hard to believe the edges could do it. Check it out.

at least it didn't get the edge or base at all... just need to cut off the shit and epoxy it up so the core doesn't get wet
