yessir it allows multiple pounds of snow to enter the ski so you can really become one with the mountain

I dont follow atomic skis all that much so I have no clue what ski that is or what year. But if its a relatively new ski I'm sure they would warranty that?

If you want to have the best chance of fixing it let the ski dry out for a long time (couple days at least), and then epoxy it with some good epoxy.

Make sure you give it ample time to dry out.

epoxy should do the trick, use clamps.

Use g flex epoxy. I've tried a bunch of other hardware store epoxies and nothing compares.

It's just a thin sheet of plastic for the graphics. Just cut it off. Then ski!
I have some QST's that did that after they got ran over twice but cars!
Skis are fine!

I’d also go this route, cut the graphic off and let her rip

You can try to use a spray or roll on glue to glue it back down. Use a small foam paint roller or vinyl wrap squeegee to press the top sheet down onto the glue and get rid of excess glue (press from the center to the edge).

Have damp paper towels to wipe excess.

Another idea is to peel up the top sheet and put down a vinyl wrap where the top sheet was.

I would also cut/tear it off. This happened to my older JJ's, and a lot of other older armadas. Chances are if u spend money/time on epoxy it will just start coming off in another spot that u will have to fix again.
Just make sure you epoxy/JB Weld any serious dings your get after ripping off top sheet.

That happened to my Atomic Blogs. Either cut it off or epoxy it down. No effect on performance unless you get snow packed in there.

Yep, just cut it. Jerry is always asking me to fix the tops from that era of sal/atomic, it's not worth the trouble. Cuuuuut it

Exactly why you want to cut off the part that's not sticking!

I think so. I saw an ad in a 90's ski mag for it. Pretty sure the purpose is over your topsheets
