just got my rossignol s4's, firt time out on them tonight, bout an hour in, going up the lift i notice the tip on one of my skis is cracked. uppon further inspection i notice it went right through my topsheet and it happened right where the edges join up and around where the core ends.

is this anything to worry about?

it fucking sucks cause they're brand brand new

Rossignol had really great customer service last time i bought from them; i had some chipping on the top sheet and sent them back and they sent me a better pair for free. def take them to a shop and see if they can get you a good deal with Rossi

right now they are still in mint shape, going on a ski trip on the 27th, and after that they may be a little more banged up. I hope that wont affect anything

I would try and get them warrentied. If that doesn't fly then a good shop will be able to epoxy or jb weld the tip back together. The tip on my Nine Life's is currently being held together by hockey tape and contact cement. (temporary fix.)

thats what i was thinking, about the epoxy. im going to tuck tape them for my ski trip just to keep the moisture out.

and heres a shitty paint picture of the skis haha. the blue show the outline of the core, the red shows the crack, and the word "join" indicates the join in the edges

I saw the pics, it looks like it is just the top sheet. If it is, you shouldn't have to worry about it, they are just stress fractures, I have seen it before and they don't cause any harm to the ski.
