I need help with atomic
So I buy a new pair of Bent chetlers I’ve been saving for, get them mounted up, take them out 5 days. About a 3 inch section of edge ripped out, and my tail is de-lamming, I call the store I bought it from, and say I’m going to go the the closest one, in frisco, 4 hours away. I go to frisco and they can’t help, and nobody else can. So I just wasted 4 hours of gas, and nobody will help, so I’m just stuck with brand new fucked up skis? Help
Damn that’s shitty. Sorry to hear dude. How did they break? Were you hitting rails or hit a rock or you just looked down at some point and your edge was gone?
That blows. Early season riding at it's most dangerous. Should've just pulled out your junk skis. I get it though. I have a new pair I'll most likely ride the first day just cuz I want to rip them so bad.
Could contact atomic. The store should help you warranty the skis.

Ok, we definitely need more details here...
Is the damage caused by you hitting rails or rocks/downed trees/other stuff that is not yet covered by snow since it is the beginning of the season?
Why wouldn't the store you bought them from help you out? What did they see on the ski that you haven't told us?
Were you calm in the store, or were you freaking out?
Can you post pictures of the skis?
Dude cmon what did you expect from early season conditions? I'm not trying to be a dick but look at your last instagram post, you can literally see and hear yourself going over rocks, dirt, etc. Also there has been skier triggered avalanches on Loveland pass already this year, i'm 100% willing to bet you haven't taken an avalanche course.
Yeah you're kind of fucked man. Such is the life of early season riding, take your rock skis next time and maybe pray theres a shop that can fix it

Sound on... what did you expect to happen? It sounds like you're skiing over gravel, did you think your new skis were going to hold up to hucking onto rocks?

As said above what did you expect? No ski company is going to help you because the damage you did is so obviously impact related. Post some pics of the bases I kinda wanna see the carnage.
Also why? why would you spend $750 on skis and take them over rocks like that immediately?

I’m sorry but I gotta reply, one day on LP, in the bowl not near waterfall or Jack’s, I think I’m fine on slides. Also I’ve got AIARE Level 2 bud.
OP replying to everyone; the damage was not caused on that day or on Loveland at all. I was at Wolf Creek doing an interview 2 weeks ago, and the edge went there, on groomers doing an interview. The tail started delaying before I took them out, and the last straw was the binding broke last week. The edge was def my fault, the tail and binding just fell apart.
Update. Atomic, and the shop kinda said fuck you, which I expected, so now I’ve just gotta get another pair of sticks. Thanks for the comments guys
