It's called 'wear and tear'.

Metal edges vs plastic top sheet. Who will win?

It means when you cross your skis that you are essentially cutting your top sheets up. If you don’t want to have fucked up top sheets then be more careful

Ya gotta ski with your skis about 2 feet apart from each other at all times. No touchy

You dont really if you're skiing a bunch. Don't trash your skis but you have to ski them otherwise whats the point. Eventually you'll probably snap one or rip an edge out or something and buy a new pair of skis.

They dont last for ever, not saying trash them, but ski the shit out of them and enjoy it.

Get sponsored by volkl so you get new skis every 45 seconds or get a sugar daddy who makes 5 mil a year.

Theres this other guy that wants to have all metal bases. You should team up with him and have all metal top sheets too. Problem solved

My skis usually look worse after the first day skiing them. One day you will learn that most of the damage a ski gets over the time doesn't really matter.

Okay, since the little boy won’t come clean.

Unfortunately it is wear and tear. They will get beat up but I rather ski on my skis than look at them.

Word of advice though... stay away from ditches, don’t go on a rant about the company, and don’t “make someone pay” by bringing in your grandmother who has way too much time on her hands and smokes.

This damage is from skiing with your legs too close together. It can happen from rails and just general clanking, but if you are looking to not have this damage widen your stance

nah it's most likely from when you're on the chairlift and you clank your skis so that the snow falls off.

Skiing with a narrow stance shouldn't really scrape the topsheet off that much
