1. see if they in any way could be fixed
2.Beg anyone to borrow skis or give you some
3. I would probably go crazy not being able to ski

I broke my skis half way through the season last year. luckily I had managed to save enough money from my college year to be able to afford some used Silencers. You should just see if anyone you know has some urbans you can use or something. Thats what i did for about a week while I was looking for new skis.

babysitt! haha some people pay 20+ an hour up here its sick or any other job like mow lawns and stuff that doesn't require hiring if you dont want a job long term.

borrow money from friends or family, if you really cant afford normal skis and are not too tall maybe get kid's skis? or go to a thift store and get really cheap shitty skis there while you work for legit ones. a lot of options have already been said thats all i got.

take the bindings off (i love my 04 pivots), then make a story about how my skis were stolen so that insurance would pay for new skis of equal value. or just buy some new ones using my college money.

Yo man skiing is all i really have.  I would be so upset if my skis broke.  I have no family near me, all my friends have moved off or had kids and cant do shit.  Like I said, my skis are my life man.  I have broken up with a hndful of chicks last season due to me skiing too much.  I would sell my truck, buy a shitty car so I could buy a new pair of skis.  Skiing keeps my calm.

start a thread to find a replacement. Working sucks balls, free shit rules.  People break skis all the time. Some one must have a lone ski sitting in their closet or on their mantel. I am sure you could trade Karma, or reach arounds for one ski.

of that doesn't work, just mount both bindings on your good ski, and get 10 foot bamboo pole. Viva la mono ski !

good luck bro.

uhhh....how the fuck did you do that???

i am pretty sure, by the looks of the damage, any ski would explode such as said atomic ski under the force that is apparent here...
