Do I need new skis?

Well I've somehow managed to mess up my skis alot in only a month and a half of skiing. I have a pair of 2015 LTCs, which are really fun out here in the midwest, and I've had a bunch of problems with them. I have a delaminating tip that's been fixed, which will probably delam again as the shop guy said, Delam underfoot (I have no idea how) and one of my edges is crushed into the base of my ski, and finally the topsheets have gotten so scraped up I'm starting to see the different layers in the skis. I literally can't afford to get new skis, but both my dad and the shop tech have told me that I'll need new ones soon, But I really can't afford it so do you think I'll be able to last through the rest of the season in the midwest?

Use your judgement we don't know what they look like. If you really cant afford them than I guess that's your answer

Do you hit lots of jumps and rails? Because that's a pretty good way to delam skis. And my guess would be that your ski tech, who has seen your ski, will be able to judge if you need new skis better than a bunch of people on the internet who haven't seen your skis.

I would definitely stick with the duck tape as a temporary fix, but all joking aside... I'd check again with your shop guy or go directly to Line if you need to because I know that they have a really good warranty service, and if you've only had them for a year, then maybe they can hook you up with something. Good luck man!

use rivets or t-nuts to stop the delam.

I've had 5 pairs of line skis and the only ones that have broken were 2011 afterbangs.

Park skis fall apart. Lots of people happen to buy line skis, so you see more line skis falling apart because more people are riding them. Nobody makes a thread saying "hey I've had my skis for 3 months and nothing happened to them!"
