Broke my tail so I just screwed a piece of wood that was left over from building a deck. Held up for two days on it so far and hasnt cracked or anything and was hoping it would get me through this season? Kinda thinking my core is going to rot before and the whole ski is going to snap though.

opinions?

You win at life, but I think you need to wrap it in duct tape

That's awesome! You should definitely put a similar sized block on the other tail though to keep it consistent!

Also...aren't those the '04-'05 STLs in 176?

nah, cores broken the whole way through, edges are broken, no more side wall. only thing that was holding the ski together was the base and it was starting to tear
