Thats pretty extensive, probably a job for the shop, They could be too far gone, you might want to consider picking up some new planks.

How did you do that in 4 days? Did you do any edge prep before using them? But yeah get them to a shop straight away. The core needs to be dried out and then the ski can be glued, clamped then ground flat. It should hold up pretty well if done well but obviously will not be as strong so the ski will be prone to further damage.

according to the shop it's quite a straight forward fix, should be back to normal afterwards without suffering too much loss in durability.

Really? How are they going about repairing it? Similar thing happened to my skis, and the shop said they are basically toast. Im wondering if I should even try epoxy + clamp. If you could ask them how they fix this that would be awesome.

i think the picture makes it look worse than it is, theres no much damage to the base or edge. they are just going to dry it, epoxy, clamp it, and then probably smooth it down somehow.
