jareda580When we go in the park we just ski through. I’m not hiking or hitting a million rails in one day, if at most we will spend 50% of a 4 hour ski session in the park. Again, not going crazy these past two winters, just going through casually. I’ve had my pairs of park skis destroyed, but for a 700 dollar ski that isn’t a sole park ski, the edge shouldn’t have crumbled like that. This post was for about help fixing it to preserve the dope skis that they are, or any support in contacting them

Sorry to ruin your day but their edges aren't proprietary tech or anything. Yeah they're thicker which should help with cracking but they come from a handful of manufacturers that all ski companies use. If your edges break or pull out as a result of park use, it's not the ski manufacturer's fault. Why some seem to break when others don't is purely luck and how they hit that rail (assuming same thickness and composition). Also let's remember cold temperatures make metal less malleable, more brittle and prone to cracking. I see this thread type all the time across all brands and it's really annoying, especially on skis you got at a discount that they didn't have to give you.
My guess is that you didn't do a good enough repair and didn't notice the gap, then snow, or ice, and pressure exerted in a turn helped snow/ice force its way in or grab hold and pull the edge out. Think of the physics and forces exerted when hitting rails. Every time is different no matter if you hit the same rail 1000 times- it won't be the exact same.
IMO what separates on3p from other bigger brands like Line and Armada and Faction is their attention to detail and customer service. Skis are built to perfection. Thicker bases. Faster bases. Thicker edges. Stronger core components. USA made. Small company.... Those are all reasons why they cost more.
I do know they were on here a few months ago to address a similar post and said response times were extended due to covid.
As for edge repair, there's some guides out there for bad core shots and edge repair. You can do it. Also what kind of glue did you use? Epoxy? Did you clamp and let it cure (cure does not mean dry, it's much longer)?
My advice would be to stop giving more information in this thread that further harms any warranty claim you might have had. Perhaps you're right and it is a defect, unlikely, but just be patient. Send another email if you feel the need to. 1-2 weeks is nothing. Most big corporations take months to process warranty claims.
