What am I supposed to do to fix my skis?

Definitely switch skis like you said.

however this is normal. And yes for even 8 days of riding. Edges are not that strong, I’m surprised they don’t look like this after 2 days of riding. In the mean time you can file them down a bit so they’re not snagging too much. Once those little pieces fall out, throw some epoxy in there to seal it off so water doesn’t get in and fuck up the ski.
 
Idk man a new edge crack for each day of riding seems a little crazy to me. I rode the same pair of wets for two years and only got edge cracks street skiing. Edge cracks are sort of a gamble sometimes, but this might be a faulty ski. You could contact Emmett on Instagram or try to get a reply here [tag=225826]@VISHNU[/tag]

Honestly I think you’re lucky it cracked so many times in such a small place, it might hold better because of it.
 
My first pair of wets had like 5 edge cracks and my second pair is in its second season and has yet to edge crack at all so it's definitely a gamble. I detuned the fuck out of the second pair before use and regularly redull them which probably helped. They kinda resharpen from hitting rails so you gotta redull every once in a while. I've also been switching my left and right every day of riding.
 
Yoink the cracked segments out and refil with JB weld or something of the kind. File down to shape.

I liked JB weld for this because you can form into a decently shaped "edge" pretty easily

If only there were a toughened, versatile, liquid epoxy that can permanently bond to fiberglass, ceramics, plastics, and wood.

Yeah this is why I’m gonna stick with Vishnu. Last season when I had line chronics and absolutely destroyed them within 2 days and I tried contacting them and they just didn’t care.
