So i crashed in some crust snow today and a quite big peice of my topsheet came off. Got pics below and was wondering how bad it really is?

Is it something i should try to fix or should i just keep shredding and ignore it?

Topsheets chip. If you had looked at any other thread, which I know there have been at least 2 others in the past day, you would have found this out and what to do

i'm not a ski expert by any means, but i'd say if the core is exposed it may be cause for concern. are they cap or sandwich construction?

Both, sidewall underfoot and cap on the rest of the ski.

just get some epoxy on it, and you'll be good.

under rotated a whack flip and the landing was all crust snow, so it ripped it up quite hard. Was really suprised tho... they have been holding up great so far
