Nope, not at all. After a while it's less noticeable because the weaker cover is chipped away leaving the harder materials. Both my K2 skis are like this, but after 2 years on my PE's, they have no performance issues, at least not from the topsheet.A trick to help with chipping is to file or sand the top edges of your skis at a 45% angle so when they hit together they are not as sharp so they chip less, it makes a huge difference.
