It's from the sharp edge of the other ski. Cut it off and sand it a little to prevent any part getting caught on something and you'll be set to go.

Definitely nothing major, if you're really set on fixing it you could use some epoxy (I use JB weld marine) to glue it back in place.

If you're riding any park you're gonna get those all over your topsheets, probably easiest to cut, sand and keep skiing as mentioned above

Definitely cover it with epoxy to seal it up, moisture in your ski is bad news. JB weld makes a 2 part tube of clear epoxy that is good enough, but I’ve seen it discolor after a couple years. More expensive marine grade stuff would be better. Prep it by cutting the hanging part off and sand it like others said, then throw a coat of epoxy on it. After it cures you can sand it down a bit to make it smooth and less noticeable. Water in your ski can make it delaminate way faster and this is a quick way to prevent it.
