The first 6 or so inches of edge ripped out of my ski. I contacted the manufacturer months ago when the edge started to disconnect but i didn't get a response. I continued to ski them and then last Sunday, the edge went from barely sticking out to multiple inches. I'm guessing the only way is to use epoxy on the teeth, stick it back in and clamp. Anyone know of a better way to do this or what type of epoxy I should be using?

if you are going to use epoxy make sure you use marine grade epoxy since its water proof. i would just snap off the edge thats sticking out and hammer the rest back in. thats just what i would do, you'd probably be better off trying the epoxy first though.

Yeah at the tip of the ski I would just rip it out and seal it with epoxy

You could go down the 'get-new-edge-put-in-and-base-weld' road, but I wouldn't bother with the damage in the position it is, and if they are park skis.
