Okay so I don't have much of the season left but my AR7's noses split just last weekend and im bummmmmmmmmmmmed. They'd been getting decently trashed all season but i've been waxing and tuning them in hopes that they never got to banged up :) Ya kno. But somehow I came off the slopes last weekend and I saw my nose at been a little bent inwards / started to split... can I fix this? or is it even that big of an issue yet if its just the tip right now? If not I guess ill probably get a new pair of them since they're like 250 on sale but I WOULD LOVE TO KEEP THESE FUNCTIONAL NAW'MEAN.

Can you post pictures? Do you mean that you hit something which caused a dent/split or that the layers are coming apart? Either way pictures would be helpful.

use rivets and clamp that bitch down to prevent it from splitting further

put some epoxy in the dent to stop water getting in, thats about all you can do. if they start to delam its not really a big deal you just have to fill with epoxy and clamp, holds together really well.
