Narrative:

While taking off on runway 8 at kden, at approximately 70-80 KTS, both the master caution and vent skin valve fault on ECAM illuminated. I (PNF) announced and initiated the low speed abort while the first officer advised den tower. We proceeded to taxi off the runway and stopped on the run up area. Working with dispatch and maintenance, we corrected the problem. Subsequent takeoff was normal.
