THIN ON THE GROUND
Patient: Volkl Mantra
Diagnosis: This ski present in fairly new condition - we can see there is still a factory tune. Yet the base is just 0.8mm thick - pretty thin! The material is well-bonded though so good construction apart from thin edge and base.
Treatment: We'll start with a base patch and then straighten the edge. Hopefully the side wall won't need rebuild too, but time will tell.
Prognosis: Full recovery expected but life expectancy for these thin bases is below average.
