Nordica Radict Base and Edge Blowout

I guess crudbusting at vail was too much. got off the hill and saw that the entire base and edge was separated from the sidewall.

I'm holding out for a second opinion after hearing the first one, which determined that these skis are now "junk."

here are the pics

They are probably still repairable.

I've had worse. Tidy up the sidewall, buy some good epoxy, plates and clamps and go to work.

Just what kinda "crud" were you busting, because it ain't just snow. Anyway...ive had a similar issue on some libtechs and got the factory to do the repairs for free....but you got pos from Europe so good luck bub

I had basicly the same issue with my 12-13 Ace of Spades. The sidewall came off bit by bit revealing the core. If it is possible to epoxy and clamp it then do it, pronto

They still will be fine after you do a good job of epoxying. How often are you going to use that edge anyway on that ski? That ski is a boat built for pow not ice. I assume you have skinny skis for non pow days/on piste.
