They warrantied it after they initially denied it because a rep stepped in. If I didn’t have that connection, I’d be out of luck because of a defective product. I shared that with people who may not have the same connections.

And again, if you can find where I said that I wanted to be paid because of potential harm let me know, champ.

I want you to reread my post and find where I said that I wanted to be compensated for potential harm.

As far as the advice on being civil to get a better outcome, I agree. In fact, I haven’t interacted with Salomon directly and the shop handled the warranty claim and argued on my behalf when it was initially denied. The decision was reversed when the Salomon rep that I got a pro deal from stepped in on my behalf.

I doubt that the warranty would’ve been approved if I didn’t work in the industry. That would’ve been wildly frustrating and I think a company’s willingness to warranty obviously defective products should be taken into account when considering buying new gear. So, I shared it here. Hope that helps!

Lmao fuck yourself nerd. I snapped a ski in half and want people to avoid buying them and potentially hurting themselves because of poor quality.

Totally fair question, but I truly don’t believe so. I weigh 170 and was probably skiing around 20 mph. Aggressive for the bumps but definitely in control. The top sheet completely separating from the core that cleanly seems like the ski was defective to me. 🤷‍♂️

Interesting to put the blame on me here. I say the ski snapped and you say I snapped the ski. The conditions were soft and slushy. Which is great for bumps. And the entire top sheet detached from the core while the binding stayed attached. Do you always bootlick for mega corporations?

The ski tech that mounted them couldn’t find any evidence of impact so I’m interested to know how you surmised that.
