You'll have to get a base weld if it's down to the core, but if it isn't, you can go buy some petex and just fill it in.

eh, ive gouged to the core many a time, never needed a weld, i just p-texed the shit outta them, its like the duct tape of the skiing world, other than duct tape itself, which fixes everything...

?
the only proplem with p-tex is that it's never as hard as your original base... and eventually it will fall out... make sure you really rough up the area before you fill it
