They're scratched.

Buy another pair then and give the scratched one's to me. I'm not proud :D

I love them too much to part with them, but you know me Bandit...any small excuse for some new kit will do! :lol:

Bugger :P Thought I might have scored there!

So, do you want more of the same, or something with a different performance profile?

I wonder how long new skis take to get their first scratch ....... not long me's thinks :wink:

Usually the very first lift queue :(

Especially if you take them to France )

I agree with the first point, but no matter where you are when the buggers stand on your skis
let them pass you and then unclip their bindings with your pole, with a bit of practice they don't even know that you are the one that has done it.
It does not help with the scratch on your skis but sure does give you some satisfaction :thumbup:

So just check behind you if your bindings have become unclipped in the lift queue because you might just have wickers behind you :wink:

Get two pairs, a pair of DPS Rita 95 Hybrids as your main ski http://www.dpsskis.com/home
