Skis run over... Trying to assess

[HotdoggingIt]

Someone pulled something stupid in a driveway and ran over my skis/poles as we were loading up. I heard scraping and saw a tire on but maybe not over my setup before he backed off it.



Brakes just chewed up and maybe slightly bent but everything looked ok otherwise visually.

However... Prior to mounting the bindings after flying home (track system, I removed them for the flight) I noticed one ski has way more pop than the other. The flatter one doesn't sit flat, but maybe half as tall with no weight on it and a difference I can feel through the boot at least on my kitchen floor.

Now I'm going mad wondering if they were always like that or if the car somehow cracked the core of one ski... Is that possible to do without showing a lot of external damage?

I really really liked these skis. Super upset about the whole thing.

If they are not stiff underfoot anymore (where I assume the car ran over em) then they could be cracked. You could bend that area to test, the track system might add rigidity tho.

Whats more then likely is that the weight of the car pushed down on the camber profile, dampening the camber. Kinda like a reverse ski press.

What you could do is put the other one under the same car and then they will be the same. And you gain some more rocker for easier butters.

damn bro, it seems like someone ran over your skis with a car.

By my professional assessment I have come to the conclusion of a awd lawmower going over them

Does it even make sense the ski would be flatter after that or maybe they were always different camber and I'm just noticing now? Doesn't a ski need to be heated and blocked for hours to change it's shape? Or maybe whatever Titanal is in there for rigidity bent...

maybe if you run over the other one with your car it will even them out and they'll feel the same again

The core is not in the ski, but in the heart of the skier. Don't let anyone crack your core. Stay strong.

Give him the setup and make him pay you MSRP for it. You break it you buy it.

Have you considered using a ski rack?
