Try gradually working it in using a hammer.

Pictures appear to show a moth living in your skis?

hit up Scott and see if they'll help you out even though its def not warranty.  If that is apiece  of wood that got stuck in your ski i would pull it out, then epoxy and clamp your ski/sidewall back together, should last for a little while anyway.

There is a shop tech by me that says he can fix basically anything, and fixed something similar to that. I would go the epoxy route and clamp it back together nice and tight while it sets up. But the integrity of the ski is basically ruined and the chances of something like that happening again will be pretty high.

I just used super glue when a similar thing happened to me, but it was a much smaller scale.

yeah... don't do this OP, go out and buy some actual clamps and epoxy from a hardware store. As stated above marine epoxy works best.

Yea no go on the super glue, like others have said get Epoxy (sometimes called 2 part epoxy) and clamp it back together, it will need 12-24 hours to dry fully.
