I use West Systems G-Flex epoxy to fill the hole between the wood and the edge. Then I use a quick clamp to squeeze it all together for at least 24 hours, then I take a file and run it along both sides of the edge to make it smooth.

I've done it on several pairs of skis and it seems to hold up well.

The more epoxy in the gap the better, but you also don't want to squeeze it all out when clamping the edge to the ski.

Here is a picture for reference OP, the red arrows indicate the cracks, and the blue arrow shows the epoxy.

Eventually your edge will become thin due to filing it flat as you can see with the left arrow, but West Systems G-flex is harder than the base of the ski and I've used it for ~8 inches of edge. Holds up great.

How would you guys fix this?

If you skis aren’t child sized sell me them

Prolly not, but just in case they are 183.

This, how I repair any crack that’s decent sized.

although I recommend getting a small piece of wood, at least 2inx6in. I noticed it to distribute clamp force a bit better. Probably not necessary however

Just pull the whole edge out

They've got a couple different names, but Google "Quick Clamp" or "Trigger clamp"... you can find 'em almost anywhere tools are sold!

Don’t ski Vishnu….

China skis suck my dude

The G flex approach is the right move but if your super serious and want to, you can replace the edge which is definitely a b*tch and takes a lot more precision and work. If you want to do this you will still want to buy some form of marine epoxy and go pick up some euro edge from the local shop. You can use a dremel to get all the old edge out and clear a path to put the new edge in. The rest of the steps are about the same as the G flex™️ method©️
