i ride line blends and last season i got a load of gashes on the inside edges of my skis. some of which exposed the fiberglass/inside of the ski. i patched them all with epoxy, but I'm just wondering if they're really that bad, or if i just baby my skis too much

well its hard to say without seeing a picture of them. i get the occasional deep gash and then ptex it real good, then wax, then your ski is good to go.

So your inner sidewalls have gashes on them? Most of the time that comes from your skis hitting each other. Most often this happens on the lift when you bang them together to get the snow off.

its from them hitting each other, not from on the lift, but from bails and when i land sometimes. how bad can it be for my skis?

ok so sidewall dings? it shouldnt be too big of problem just as long as you keep an eye on them and make sure water doesnt get into the core. relax man, everyone gets sidewall dings.
