Edges Rip Out, Again

By was2555293 Ranked #263 - Alpine Park and Pipe Skis January 4, 2009

I got my replacement pair of skis a few weeks ago, mounted them with the same bindings, and proceeded to ski 3 strait pow days and then 4 days of aftermath. These things floated well in the semi-pow we get in the east, the best of any ski I have owned. After 3 more scattered days of skiing I was pulling these things out of the trunk and my hand scraped across something. THE EDGE RIPPED OUT IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE! AAAH! I called up backcountry's customer service again, the guy who I spoke with was wicked nice and was all apologetic and stuff even though it wasn't his fault, and made up the money I've spent mounting and remounting broken skis with 50% off towards the difference between these and the suspects. Totally satisfied. Thank you backcountry.com customer service, and sorry but I hate you salomon for making such a great ski with such a simple design flaw, aggressive skiers stay away from this ski!
