Top sheet peeling?

So I just bought these skis and I have been skiing on them for about 6 days. I have started to notice that the top sheet is peeling, is this normal?

it's pretty common to have the edges of the top sheet to start peeling like that, happens when you cross your skis and the edge catches the edge of the top sheet. de-tuned edges help and some people sand the top sheet corner with sand paper to make it less prone to catching. my skis have pretty gnarly sides at the moment.

If you don't like the asthetics just get a razor blade and shave off the "peeled" part. But yeah this is gonna happen all the time

If you’re really worried, a little epoxy can seal it up, but it’s normal and not detrimental. Trust me, after skiing on a bunch of Line skis, you get used to it
