Skiing on snapped skis

You guys reckon I could keep skiing on these?

They're Atomic's Infamous (fully cambered) and I seemed to have added some 4-point rocker...

The skis are in line with each other.



No visible damage on the outside, just a broken soul.

Thats gonna be hella sketchy. Lean in for a nosebutter and fall on your face as one ski snaps completely, and forget nollies. But that would work for groomers. might feel weird with two different skis now haha but send it

Yeah I really haven't skied that much on them but I can't find my order history so it's a lost cause

are you asking if you could or if you should? two very different questions with two very different answers.

you can still ski on them but it's sketchy and obv i wouldn't go trying any nose butters or anything. ive used a ski with a core i'd snapped before, if it's not too bad the ski will work... just not well

Even though I bought a new pair I'm tempted to use them and see what happens

oh also just a recommendation, if you end up with the non-broken ski just sitting around, you should see if there's a sit-skier who would want it. good use for a perfectly good ski with no mate
