So I got these off of d-structure a little while back (they are 08 177 stls) and just got them mounted. So I took them outside and clicked in to feel the ski and pop some 180s in my backyard (but slid NO rails or summer setups) my skis sort of clashed with each other once, but nothing hard or intense. So i noticed this already happened? is it just top sheet chipping? maybe its nothing idk

Omg that is delam you should contact 4frnt and get them warrantied b/c you can't use them.  They are broken.  You shouldn't use them. 

It's just topsheet chipping.

think about it a sharp never skied or detuned METAL edge got banged against your top sheet.....
take your ski  go into your kitchen and bang it against your wooden cupboards, linolium floor, or even your refridgerator. proceed to hit them with the edge of your ski..... go get your mom and show her...ask her if this is normal damage when you hit things with a sharp metal edge... i don't think you will be surprised by her answer

My skis!!! They are sick as hell. And the same is happening to me. Don't worry about it too much though it's just the top sheet

And because your topsheet is black and apears to be glossy your going to notice them easy(just like if you own a black car). I did the samething when i started skiing. i was like oh wow the world is going to end there is a scratch on my skis lolololol you will just get use to it you have no choice. Well you could stop skiing, but i don't advise that its bad for your health
