Are you talking like rock gouges etc? I actually noticed this the other day that one of my skis always takes core shots instead of the other. I think its from the way we favor weight on one leg vs the other or something.

This is why you should regularly swap you skis over, even if the graphic doesn't match (unless you have asymmetrical skis like the k2 marksman). You will wear your edges more evenly meaning an edge blow out will be less likely/take longer to happen and if you cross your skis over the same way every time for mute grabs etc then you will have more even topsheet chipping meaning it'll take longer to expose the core through chipping.

TLDR: uneven damage is a thing, swap you skis over more often to increase the life of your skis.
