Ar5 bases

I was riding my new AR5s for the second time this year. I only skied for 2 hours, and not very hard, but at the end I noticed part of my base was screwed up. Now I don't mean a scrape or anything, it looked like the base had been compressed upwards along the edge about 4' foreward from the binding. In wondering if there was a gap in the core, or the base was put on wrong to begin with cause I really haven't ridden them too hard yet. Will this overly weaken the edge or actual ski if I just have it filled with apoxy or something? Also, should I try and get them replaced since their obviously defective in some way. I just don't wanna wait all season to be able to ski, but I don't wanna get screwed if they snap or the edge breaks off. Thanks

dude, when your ski compacts, it is not a good thing. I say that you take it to a ski shop.

Yeah, I know man. I plan on taking it to the shop, but if their like 'We'll have to send it to Armada to be examined' should I go with it, or just be like fuck it, and fill it with apoxy so I can actually ski on them this winter.
