Broken Ski! Question

Ok i have last years seth pistols and i was out skiing today and fell and somehow cracked the ski right across the ski near the heel of the binding, the whole heel part of the binding came loose and you could pretty much break the ski in half if you tried. I know it cant be fixed, but is there any chance K2 might send me a new ski? I'm pretty sure they aren't supposed to break like that for no reason. Any info would help, thanks.

Unless you did something reckless to crack it, they should replace them...if they're under warrantee still.

Good luck.

Yeah i ordered them from getboards.com, and i found out K2 only has a 1 year warranty, im not sure if i got them within a year ago, but if i can get getboards to send me a receipt for them showing i bought them less than a year ago, basically they will send me a new pair. Kinda sucks cuz there are no K2 dealers close to me.

email mike gutt at k2factoryteam.com. he took care of me with my warranty issues when someone sold me a fulty ski. I didnt get mine replaced cause the owner before(sam Caylor) me was a douche and didnt tell me how fucked they were. But email Mike he is super helpful and can hook you up.

I am very discouraged to the fact that the site adminster didn't look at my profile or ask before doing something like this. I may be new to this website but I have been skiing more then most of you.
PLEASE research or ask before making such assumptions like this one.

just dont say when you bought them. if you dont know the exact time, be like, 'uh, i dont remember when i got these, it was probably around a year or so.' im sure they will give you another ski... they shouldnt have broken like that.

Yeah but the problem is, im pretty sure i bought them less than a year ago. But their policy is that if you dont know when you bought them, then they go by when they were made, and i know thats been more than a year. Does anyone know that Mike Gutt guy's email? I would appreciate it.

if u bought them with a credit card that should be easy to prove when u bought them. it sounds like they were rotting under the binding so it could be the shops fault that put the binding on.

I thnk if you do ot through a shop then you dont hvae to send in a reciept. I broke mine after i bought them and sent them in without a recipt through a ski shop and they said it shouldnt be a problem.
