Fixing separated tips

I have a pair of old enemies that I want to lend a friend this weekend since he doesn't have skis. They are fine except the front tip has split in half a little bit. I rode them a few times like this, but was just wondering if anyone had any quick suggestions. They are spit about an 1 inch down, so glue doesn't work. Thanks for any help.

Epoxy and a rivet or two should fix them for a while.  One of my pairs of skis delamed on the tails and I riveted them and have had no problems with ~30 days of riding since.

or if you want a pair of brand skis after your friend uses them you could probably warranty them

unless the warranty is up or some other thing

how old are the ememies...pes come with rivets for the last4 years or so to prevent just what happened to you, 3 in the tip and one in the tail...but duct tape and glue should keep them together for a fey days
