Can't do anything to fix that, broken ski is a broken ski sadly. See what line can do about a warranty, but thats about it. Sorry.

Like they have said, p much nothing you can do, try the warranty or retire them to urban, just don't land switch.

You could attach a metal strip to the top sheet keeping the ski together for urban but you're going to need to get some new skis.

I don't believe line will cover that for warranty but they may give you a discount and that's if you are lucky.
