Aslong as your not a complete dumbass edge sections missing isnt a huge deal.

The onyl thing that is gonna make it so you can't give the ski a little bit of work and ski them fine on the mountain is if there are chunks out of the actual core.

Personaly i bought 2 pairs from him, should be getting them any day, and i have no doubt that at worst they will be useable in the park with a little bit of work.

I don't think anyone that bought them had any thought of making them their primaries. They were advertised as urbans, and expected to be in urban condition.

You laugh at saying they will be useable on the mountain, but acknowledge that are fixable enough to use in the park, that is on the mountain, thats a little contradictory.

Even if you don't want to go through the trouble of the hole edge replacement thing that is a little advanced of a repair, its definately easy enough to slap some jb weld in the gaps and file/mold it to the edge level. And bam you have a useable pair of park skis, that probably have tougher edges than the orignal skis had.
