Minor crack in fugitive

So i was riding recently and noticed that a small crack had formed in my 05-06 fugitives that i bought new spring of last season. Now i know compared to most of you this may not look like much, but ive only been out around 15 or so times this year and I have no idea how i got a vertical crack in my ski. So will this type of crack effect the integrity of my beloved fugitives or can i keep riding then without worry. bigger sizes are here

so horizontal i could understand, just a stressing of the materials leading to an eventual crack, but i have no idea how to form a vertical crack in a ski unless i somehow rolled them like a hot dog bun but even the fugitives arn't soft enough for that

i have so much cracks on my skis along the tips and tails, all running horizontal. There must be at least 7-10 on each ski. I guess they are pressure cracks and they havent affected me although I notice that they grow bigger and bigger each time I ski.

nothing to worry about, just cosmetic damage, happened to my fujis and it didn't amount to anything

My fujis did the same thing, I havent noticed any change in performance, and they have been like that for a year. I wouldnt worry about it.
