That needs to be attended to by someone that knows how to perform base work

Simply speaking it is likely that they will cut the broken edge out and epoxy a section in its place
I doubt you have the right equipment to do it, and it also depends if you have worked with epoxy before

Don't do anything. If you're sliding rails your edges will fall out. There's nothing you can do about it.

on my rossi scratch fs
i know i caught a screw on a box first day and completly tore the base out, the edge litterally went into the base and it was nasty
the wall was stilll good
if your wall is still good, a repair shop should be able to just cut the section of the edge off and screw in a new one
i know my edge got screwed into like they put a new patch of base and everything
they held up sick for end of season and into this season
but i just broke them even more
thank god i just got a new pair;)
good luck with your skis

i think they're suppose to do that -- it happens so your skis don't break
