Here in pa, we just got out first inch of snow today, and I kinda got over excited and went out and went to hit a pic rail, I then proceeded to take 3 hits and I looked at my bases and saw this


It's in the backend of my ski, should I let it go, wax over it try to glue it down? Any suggestions would help! Thanks

Get a razor blade and just cut it off flush. You could fill it with ptex if you want to

Hey man, that doesn't look bad at all. I'd agree to just cutting it down flush with a razor blade then filling with p-tex later. It shouldn't affect your riding too much. I totally destroyed my skis last year in Utah on some rocks haha.
