From my experience the insurance company would go with the paperwork you have & not require acquisition of the skis,best to ask them as I know you want to keep them & have them repaired which makes sense.
Whatever you decide I hope it all goes well for you.

I smell a rat here...

Personally, on principal, I'd sent a recorded delivery letter to Scott, along with a copy of the SOGA, highlighting the section about the product being under 6 months old, along with a print out showing evidence that others have also had this delamination issue, and ask them to replace or repair the skis free of charge, as per your legal entitlement!

If you're happy to pay for a new pair, then fair enough, but I really hate companies that like ripping people off and snaking out of taking responsibility when they probably know it's their fault. I wouldn't pass them another penny of my money!


I would also totally agree with this post & the other one relating to your rights under the SOGA.In my experience & I have had a few the system does work but will require firm input from you,I personally pursue all the issues to the justifiable end,in one case with my car for 2 years but won in the end.
You on the other hand might consider the less hassle route & that's your decision to make,some companies expect people to give up if they complicate the issue.
Another slight possibility is your next insurance premium may go up as a result of claiming through them.

But best of luck with whatever mysterious venture this is.

Saw this whilst delayed at Toulouse some years ago,they were throwing the skis from the plane onto the ground as the trailer had not arrived to stack them on.This was not an outbound flight so our skis were not affected,but could have been the case on our arrival,will never know.
I surmise baggage handlers don't do careful. :evil:

When our group go every year we always swap the skis to mismatch the pairs & put them in different racks,no probs so far,but of no help to solo skiers.

I think good ski locks will eventually become the norm as theft is as you say increasing.

Wickers I'm surprised you are able to go on holiday or do anything with the amount companies that are probably on your list :twisted:

I don't know anyone that got stranded abroad but have at least 5 friends who haven't been able to go on holiday over the past week and you have to feel sorry for a girl in our office who couldn't go on her honeymoon at the weekend.
