ok, so the core of my troublemaker broker in half, but the topsheet and base is still intact. what do you think would happen if i cut out all the broken pieces and replaced it with some thin plywood. i was gonna just slather some epoxy on it and stick it in there, then p-tex the sidewalls. their only jib/rock skis so they wont be used at any mountain. i would just buy someone's beat up skis but i kinda ran low on money.

it would still break, you might as well just replace the entire core

Sounds pretty sketchy. Maybe you can find a single ski somewhere?

team up with someone else in your situation and make one good pair of jib skis for one of you. There are a lot out there, single skis will be sold on ebay eventually.

First off, your ski is finished if the core is broken. Second, thats the worst idea II've ever heard to fix it with plywood. Plywood would break the after the first turn you take. You'd want something with the grain still intact, and even then, it'd be super sketch.
