Hey NS, I'll bring them to my shop later to see what they think but wanted to get NS's take on this core and edge shot, nasty as hell, can this be fixed in a durable way you think? Core split, edge bent, no bueno.

For a competent ski shop that knows how to fix skis, this is probably child's play. Peep the below shop's insta, plenty of skis like yours seem to come in on a regular basis.

I wouldn't be too stressed about getting these back on snow, esp if you keep it to soft snow like the skis were intended for.

hard to tell from this angle but from what it looks like it's 100% fixable. Not great, but nothing exceptionally crazy

Aight, thanks for the input.

Wasatch Touring in SLC said it wasn't really worth fixing because the core and the base split and that fixing it with epoxy would only delay the inevitable.

But the guy at Sports Den said he was confident he could do a pretty good job that would hold, so I went with him. Will post a before/after pic when I get the ski back.
