hey NS community,

quite new here and my english sucks but i have a question about my FT Ascendant 2020:


How do your ascendants look like (the front) after 30 days or even more shredding? My already look pretty fucked up, even tho i didnt walk on streets or had bindung ejections.. But the front of my ascendants and the back a little bit aswell are pretty damaged and i really wonder where it comes from. maybe you have any idea! An austrian shredder is happy for any helping answer!

pictures are attached


cheers

Have you been climbing up rocks etc a fair bit? Bindings can mark the top side of the heel and toe lug sometimes but your damage is more on the very front. Do you ever kick your toes to get snow off etc?

Seeing how symetrical it is, it's propably from the binding. I had the same issue with my boots because my bindings were too loose, even though the ski held. I tightened the bindings and it didn't get worse, but stayed pretty much like yours.

cheers for the replies guys!

I didnt do any rock climbing and dont kick my food against the binding also because i am afraid the bindung gets loose..

had the problem with the marker jester that the front part of the bindung was really loose, mounted a new one and its already a little loose again (other skies armada ARV) you guys ever had the same? it might be from jumping a lot?

or what exactly do you mean with a loose binding? and how to tight it up if the settings are all right already?


such a cool community here, really appreciate the help guys!!!

Seriously though, I’d bring your skis into a shop. They shouldn’t be that damaged.

It's Grilamid, stuff is lightweight plastic but takes a beating. You could always warranty them at the end of the ski season. But it shouldn't effect the release of the binding just looks rough

Griffons are notorious for shredding boot toes and heals. As well as all marker royal no dings

It's this. Grilamid boots get beat up way faster.

Exactly.

This year we're introducing Sammy Carlson's pro Ascendant model which uses our standard and more durable TPU material.

If you still want the lightweight Grilamid, the Ascendant Approach will have that.

Update: Having it on my racing boots aswell. So it's probably really the Griffon binding? Wtf is is doing that the boot looks like that in the front? (To be fair, I got the ski quite cheap with a rental binding. Line sick day 104 with the Griffon Grip Walk, could it be the rental binding?)

Cheers guys!

Did you have them adjusted by a shop? The AFD and/or forward pressure could be off. Worth checking!

no i actually didnt. In most Ski rental shops here the workers arent schooled and dont really know much about equipment like this. i thought this is the right address here!
