Good to see they are being transparent of the fact, and addressing it directly.

Agreed. Much more mature approach than just denial.

We all know what it looks like when a company won't full admit when they're at fault....

I'm glad I got My Candide 4.0's for free then. I did fork out for some bindings though.
I don't think my skiing can break them, but we will see. Only used once. An industry guy gave them to me after he scratched the bases from a single use. Okay, maybe a gouge or two, but no core shot. I did not even need to repair. I just scraped the smooth.

Okay, so an older adult, not so aggressive skier can have better luck with these skis, or is it going to be luck of the draw?
I don't go into ditches etc.

a lot of those skis in last years lineup broke a ton, must have been a bad batch or something. our team gets some deals through Faction so tons of kids were riding their skis last year and almost always had some sort of issue. I think i had like 3 kids warranty their pairs. somethings gotta give when 14 year olds are snapping stuff lol

Bummer! Mine are 2018 white and gold. I'll just hope for the best. I don't get rad in powder, (I'm not that good) and that's what I will use them for. Maybe filming in park too as a wide waist make for smoother sliding.

If you only buy skis once every 4 years vs 2 years, you only use half of the materials.
