topsheets are separating from the base on my babies how long does she have left? A day? An hr? Longer? Thinking about replacing with 96 kartels arvs or chronics but will remount my fks 140s. Any thoughts if they won’t last?

At least the rest of the season. Just grab that part of the ski with your bare hand.

If they still ski fine I'd keep rocking them. Park skis are gonna get beat up regardless. If they still work I'd at least go through the end of the season on em and get a cheap spring deal for next year. Or just ride them till they die

Only 3 acceptable reasons to retire a ski.
1. over 50% of edge is missing and it is impossible to ski
2. the ski is snapped
3. The core doesnt hold binding, but that is what t-nuts and ptex are for.

If your skis doesn't meet one of these before going in the trash.
1. Yous a bitch

Try to seal it up so it doesn’t get water in the core and rot. Other than that ski em till the snap

Seal those cracks with epoxy and you'll be good for a while unless the core is already compromised by having gotten soaked. In that case it's just a matter of time til you snap em or rip out

I ripped half the edge out of my right ski last week. Been skiing on it the last few days and I can not wait to get new skis. Just wish I wasn’t broke and could afford a new pair lol.
