I have a pair of skis that I really like and now they have some damage on the bottom and I wanted to know if it would do anything to affect my skiing.

It might effect your speed but if it is a core shot, its best you get it p-tex'd before water seeps into the core and the core diminishes and eventually rots causing the ski to snap.
