Splitting Edges
While skiing the other day I noticed that the edge of my ski cracked and is peeling away. Luckily its on the tail and hardly contacts the snow but I'm going on a 4 day trip in 2 days and this is the only ski I have at the moment. What should I do to stop or slow the edge from splitting even more?
Cut off the part that's hanging off
Don't have much experience fixing skis but cutting the peeling part off and putting epoxy in its place seems like the least expensive and fastest option
Cut it off...epoxy...duct tape. You could rivet it if you have the time and ability, but the first option will suffice
Cut it off
Plug it with some epoxy

Any ski will fall apart eventually in terrain park riding rails and boxes.
That said this may have prevented premature failure. Tips and tails are at this point of the video.

Thanks for the advice guys! Im gonna epoxy it up tomorrow and hopefully theyll last the trip!
I've been using surf board UV set expoxy with fiberglass in it to fill voids and split tips. Best results I've ever had.
