Edge Crack Advice

I have Punx and I noticed today when waxing that I have a small edge crack, there isn't any pull out at all, and the edge and surrounding base area look completely normal, except a single fracture in the edge.

Any advice would be great, I don't know if I should just ignore it or if I should round out that edge as much as possible to prevent any pull.

Is this normal, I have only skied around 50 days (mostly park)? and are there any tips on preventing edge cracks?

Thanks in advance for any responses

Edge cracks are to be expected on park skis. Rounding off the edges would be a good idea to keep them from catching.

Shit, you got 50 days out of them. My skis would be long dead by that point. I have about 25, not even all park, and I have 10 edge cracks, and one is starting to delam underfoot. There is nothing you can do, it happens when you ski park

File it down a bit so you are less likely to catch it on a rail and make it worse, but it's usually the beginning of the end...
