2015 Line Chronic sidewall damage

Over break I was skiing at mount snow when I realized my sidewall was beginning to pop out. This was around the underfoot and before I knew it the sidewall was just completely delaminated for about 6 inches on the underfoot. I examined my edges too and saw that there were cracks due to the lack of support from the sidewall. I tried to fix them numerous times but once I used they for a bit the epoxy would just not be strong enough to hold the side wall in place. I have been skiing chronics for 3 years and love the skis but this year they really let me down and I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem or maybe I just had a defective pair?

Are these new chronics or ones you have had for 3 years? If you have had them for 3 years it might just be time to retire them or use them for urban. They also have a one year warranty and I don't see why it wouldn't cover sidewall damage.

That's really weird. I would definitely contact line and see if they would give you a new pair. something must have gone wrong during the manufacturing process, if sidewall is done right it should last much longer than a month even if you were a really aggressive skier.

If there is any impact damage, they likely won't be covered.

Also, if you tried to repair them and there is no impact damage, they may not be covered.
