Happens to me once a day. I usually just bend it back right there but sometimes it's too cold. Try just taking some pliers to it and pry it back. I had to do that a couple times too.. Fuck Marker

clip into said ski with boot on,

get cut pole (metal rod with hole in end)

penetrate the cut pole in the hole with the currently bent brake

use cut pole to lift up (to get more leverage easiy re-bending the brake.)

I did this a couple days ago, works so well!

yup. had a bent ski today at the hill after i bit it on a misty 5. warmed my skis up in the lodge so the brake didn't snap from being cold, went over to the rental shop and got half of a ski pole, and fixed it in two minutes.

i stepped on my brake one time and it kinda worked but in the end you need a pole like things or some pliers.
