Today in my yard, i was doing my rail, and on the way down one time, i landed, and when i picked up my foot, there was a board stuck to my ski. A nail went through my base and core, but didn't go all the way through, so it stopped at the topsheet. Sooo, will p-tex fix this? or what would you say.

ouch. maybe you can go to a ski shop, they can cut out a square out of your base and put in a new chunk. i think.

Well then rock the hole and say you got shot at. 9ward would probably pick you up.

youre going to want to keep that hole dry like take a hair dryer to it and just let it sit there for a while if you have any moisture in your core it could rot. after you think its dry you could pour in some like epoxy till the base starts and then let that dry. then go ahead and ptex the rest of it up. make sure the base is flat around the edge or itll slow you down.

Take it to the shop and have them "weld" it.  With a core shot, p-tex will fall out

I like the epoxy idea.  But ya i would let it dry.  than i would p-tex that shit son.  It would do the trick unless it cracked the width of the base than it would be weekend.

If it doesnt make a huge difference than you could leave the hole there.
