Volkl Karma's delaminating, do I need to replace them?

[outerlimitz]

After skiing park for a couple hours at the Canyons, Park City today, I

looked down in horror at my ski tips on the lift, and noticed that top

sheet on my left ski was peeling off. About 5 inches down the ski (and

all the way across) had come unstuck. I took it to my guys at the shop

and they said that it could be epoxied. They are going to do it.

However, does anybody know if such a repair will last, or am I really

only buying myself 10 or so days before it happens again, and so these

skis are on their last legs. The reason I ask is that I can get a

pretty good deal on Volkl Bridges right now, and if I need to replace

these anytime in the nexst 10-15 ski days, I'd do so now. My karmas (05-06, ~40 days) are

in great shape otherwise.

That sucks really bad, i hate to hear about volkl delams, im scared my walls might delam soon. Epoxying usually lasts a while, so i wouldnt worry about another delam, and i think volkl would probly not warrantee it, honestly, and i hate to say that because your skis are over like two years old. i could be wrong, but id just epoxy it and see what happens. good luck.

ive taken some chunks out on my walls already from cross grabs and it looks so shitty. im pissed.

try epoxy though, will last a good while unles you smashin on rails

hmm well delam has nothing to do with hitting rails other than the added vibration in the ski. u should be able to waruntee.

otherwise i dont know how long the eopoxy will last.
