Ski with a hole in it

My buddy was drilling his skis and the collar on the bit slipped and he drilled through the ski. Is there anything he can do to save the ski? Like a base patch and fill the hole with epoxy? I'm just wondering if the epoxy will pop out when the ski is flexed.

I have done this a few times and just repaired it once with epoxy and once with a p-tex candle, both have held up fine.

How the hell do you do this a few times? Put down the pipe while drilling skis.

I would have been happy to ski on those rather than sit on them...

Do it only place you will run into issues if the the holes are in the same place you need to put screws for the bindings.

Epoxy will pop, your buddy done fucked up. Take it into a shop is what I suggest, that sounds like a super rich bitchy thing to do, but unless somebody here can truely diagnose what you have going on here and what the major consequences will be besides a hole in your base then you will stay fucked. Don't let your homie get fucked over by bad equipment, stay safe. ATGATT
