Can I get this repaired?

So I got some free mogul skis, but they've got some damn nasty base damage. On the ski with the edge showing, the base is almost flush with the edging. Can these be fixed? Would it even be worth it (Good used mogul skis cost a lot anyways) There's no edge tearout or base damage besides these two.

Sorry for the double post but those pics turned out tiny.

Did the base get scratched off up to the edge? If so you might be able to put tons of epoxy on it and it would work for a little but its not permanent so you would have to redo it every once in a while.

You could definitely get that repaired at a shop but it would be a pain to fix it yourself considering the whole repair would be on the edge

If the edge isn't cracked your fine.

Bases look to be paper thin, they have probably had way, way too many base grinds and are almost dead.

I'd say no. As said before they have had way too many base grinds so I doubt any added ptex would hold. I'd just ride them as is
