Things 100% not covered by most warranties:
any damage caused by your skis being on anything but snow... And since that is quite hard to prove, if the core, edges, sidewall, or topsheet are shredded, ripped, or otherwise messed up, its probably not covered...
Things that are sometimes, but not always, covered by warranty:
Warping (not including giving your skis tail rocker), Delamination, and...... that's about it.
All the threads you see on here about warranty issues for ripped out edges, chipping, binding pullouts, and all that crap... That is not covered by warranty. Period...
So please kindly STFU and stop skiing in the park if you want your skis to last longer. If you want to keep skiing in the park, stop complaining about breaking your skis when you are pounding them against steel.
Here is an example of something that MIGHT actually be covered by warranty... (my skis)
I bought them in February. I skied them before/after teaching. So they have not seen much use at all.
As you can see, the tip of the right ski has more rocker than the left (it measures at about 2.6cm more). The second picture shows what I believe to be skewed fiberglass, which may or may not have contributed...
Any ski builders... feel free to chime in about this.
