I lost about 5 inches of edging right under my boot and really need these skis to last the rest of this winter... epoxy? ptex?

Cut out the ptex around it in a trapezoid shape, pry it up. Cut an edge to size, wood screw it into place. Then use 24 hour jb weld and leave a tiny bit of room to put ptex over it so it’ll be flush. Then detune your edge and you’ll be good as new.

Theres a thread or guide on this somewhere on Newschoolers.

Stuff some g flex epoxy in there. I would be surprised if you can fix an edge like the guy above said and get it to last if you are hitting rails.

They sell replacement edge pieces. This guy repaired what was there but its a similar process to cutting the base out and using some very small screws to secure the edge and then do a base weld: https://www.newschoolers.com/news/read/How-Fix-Broken-Edge
