Replying to So I screwed up my skis... and then fixed them

There is this place on my home mountain called the boneyard where rarely people come out with their skis undamaged. There are a bunch of sick doubles and some bigger drops in the area and I thought there would be enough snow for me to be able to avoid all the rocks under them but apparently not. I got a a few scratches but it wasn't really a big deal because I was on my rock skis. But what concerned me the most was the core shot I woke up to find the next morning. I was really concerned about how it got there because I didn't really think I hit anything that hard on the mountain. Luckily I recently started working at a ski shop and was being trained on how to use the equipment and when my boss saw what I did to my skis he thought it would be the perfect time for me to learn. After 6 hours of p-texing, welding, grinding, and waxing the skis are finally back to a working condition.
