Let me apologize in advance as I'm sure there's some thread on this somewhere, I was just unable to find it.

Long story short overshot a jump going huge and ate shit harder than I probably ever have. As I was leaving and putting my skis up on the rack I noticed the topsheet seemed to be puffed up and upon further inspection I noticed even some of the wood of the ski was coming apart.

I need a way to make the skis last atleast until the end of the season which is still 2-3 months away (hopefully). Thanks and +k for anyone who helps

These first 2 are from the same side of the ski.

And this 3rd one is from the other side.

They're about 3-4 years old now so they're no longer under warranty.

Are they toast? Or can they last a bit longer with some kind of repair?
 
Damn, that's seriously depressing. No hope for them, then? I assume if I rode them water would get in and I'd end up just splitting it in half?
 
honestly its nothing to be depressed about, you did get 3-4 years out of them. If anything, go to your local shop and see if anything can be done.
 
Your shop will tell you the same thing, they're toast.

3-4 seasons on a park ski is great though.

They can't really be fixed, if there is a crack in them, then it possibly spread down the ski and can be cracked anywhere.

Time for new sticks
 
Tons of two part marine epoxy, like 10xs more than you think you need, and some bigggggg clamps, and you should last to the end of the season.
 
and it will be a waste. It seems as though that skis cracked, you could put as much expoxy as you want in it, but first jump, it will lickly just snap again. Save the $8 and put it towards new skis instead.
