Well I'm not exactly sure what happened but here's a photo of the damage. I'd like to know exactly how done for they are on a scale from 1-completely trashed. Same thing on both skis. I have a photo of the other one but it's not uploading for some reason. If this damage is fixable, is it worth it? These were really cheap to start...

If its both skis are like this i would say just get some new ones. You could probably do some half ass fix job but it would just be better to get some new skis. What skis are these anyway? For something like that to happen they must be old and beat on hard, or just peices of shit.

They are (were) really cheap rossignol scratches. They're 08s but I got 'em new this year just to mess around on in the park and stuff.

you can definatly ski the rest of the year with it. Just don't use them next year cause the inside will probably be all rotten. You can just cut the edge coming out so it doesnt break some more or just hammer it back in but it won't last long. I'm sure you can last the rest of the season but be carefull, it happend to me last year and I could still ski, not the best though.

The damage is right under the bindings on both skis.

Its is possible to fix it, but you are looking at about $100 minimum. I would just get new skis.

Blasters?  Dont bother.  The repair will cost almost as much as the skis are worth.

They are all rusted and the core looks to be rotting.  These are done.

If those are Rossignol Blasts then its probably not worth fixing them. You can get new stuff for a good price from evogear .
