My ski came off when I was trying a 360 this evening and my toe piece broke off out of the ski and delaminated it. The screw is broken and now I have no skis...

Worst part is I have no money to replace them and I have trips planned to Beaver Valley on Wednesday and to Killington in like 3 weeks. Idk what to do other than see what my shop can do for me/what I can bribe them into or just not ski and get some rope.

Bummer man, but you should definitely get in touch with friends and friends of friends, I'm sure you can scrounge up something to ride on! If worst comes to worst Bluehouse and Ninthward are selling their park skis for cheap. I've never ridden bluehouse but I can vouch for Ninthward being quality skis.
