chances are warranty will cover it. Take them to your shop/rep and see what they say.

yeah theyre getting rid of it so its softer and better. however, if people still lke the feel and stiffness of the earlier PE, thats why they made the silencer, which is jsut like the older versions, but better.

ya i'm pretty sure its still P-tex. and the silencer is softer than the PE. its made with cap construction. its more lively and poppier than the PE. but not stiffer. The PE is exactly the same as the 05/06 model except for the graffic.

how the hell did that happen. it looks like you did that because its so clean around the building part of the graffic.

Did you peel it off? I have never seen anything like that. I have seen it get a bit chewed up if kids are slamming thier skis together, but that is fucked. Take it to a store that sells K2 and send 'em in for warrenty since it is summertime.

holy shit i had no idea your skis were that fucked. i heard they were falling apart, but that's insane!!! next year's publics have a different topsheet, so that problem should be remedied.

wellll they may still be ptex... but it's one piece rather than die cut pieces. so it won't come off like that. did you get those from the ski shop? if so, bring them in and we'll take care of the warranty business for you.

ok heres the info i got from a rep. apparently they are keeping the ptex for the 07 line up but he sayed theyre doing something to fix the peeling problem, it wasnt a big issues but a issue non the less. the silencers are the lowest end ski that k2 makes for the factory team, they are like the old pe's but not as stiff. i hope i cleared up a few things

just a question, could you wax the topsheet with Cold wax eg below -15C wax so that it could reinforce the topsheet?

if you have the reciet for them just take them to any shop that sells K2. I bought gotamas offline and broke them. Just needed proof I bought them new and the shop handled the rest.
