Can I fix this?

I fucked up the nose of my ski but it seems like it’s just topsheet and sidewall not edge or base. Can I epoxy it or something?

This shouldn’t really be an issue, if you are concerned about water damage just put some epoxy in there and clamp it overnight
 
I just looked at the pics again and saw that there are 2 damaged parts. Is there a crack going across your ski or are there just 2 individual damaged parts on each side?
 
There’s a crack across the topsheet as well

Hmm ok, if the core of the ski is fine the ski should be good but if the core is cracked or anything you will probably have some problems. I don’t think there is much you can do if it’s cracked though. I would just say epoxy up any areas where the core is exposed to prevent water damage and hope for the best

That’s the plan

what was the impact? are you sure you didn't snap the core?

Under rotated a backy, not a 100% sure but the ski still seems pretty sturdy so I don’t think it’s the core. Either way I’ll epoxy it and hope for the best.

yeah i'm not sure in the slightest but it looks like a snapped ski to me. i don't know what else would cause it to look like that. again tho, not sure at all. you could snap your ski in worse places too
 
accept the fact that you snapped your ski. that horizontal bubble in the topsheet is always the tell tale sign. same thing happened to me in the nose of a ski. I screwed a plate onto it and kept riding it. without the plate it will continue to get softer and softer, but you may get some good life out of it. keep riding it until it starts flapping too much.
