Need Sidewall help

So today after skiing I saw my sidewall was peeling off, I decided to pull it (dumb idea) and it ended up peeling all the way past my toe piece of my binding. I am wondering how bad the damage is, is it fix-able or do I need to skiing on a old pair of skis now?

yeah, I'd love to say that there is some easy fix for this but your core is now exposed to the elements and the ski won't survive for very long

Just out of curiosity, what skis are those?

Put some marine epoxy over the part that is showing the core. It will help a little

chronics from this year i think...

also just take them into a shop and they can epoxy over the sidewall to seal it up, you could probably do it yourself too like the guy above said

This happened to me with my chronics from 2012. It happened on both skis and I did nothing about it. i used the ski for the majority of the season last year and it finally snapped at the end of the year. Its epoxy-able and fixable for sure
