Broken sidewall help

I got some cracks in my sidewall a while back and a few days ago a price fell out. I didn’t want to go through a warranty process because of how long it takes. What should I use to fill the hole?

I've had the same thing happen to me. That's really bad. No matter what you do, the days of having edges are numbered. Before you fix it, I would get the warranty rolling.

What I did:
J.B. Weld and some sort of structure to put in the massive hole. If you still have the missing sidewall that will be perfect. A shop may have sidewall material. If sidewall is not available, the toughest plastic piece you can find will do. J.B weld it into the hole and clamp it down for a day.

Honestly, if you want to continue to ski these skis I would bring them to a shop. The skis I fixed from this issue are rock skis.

Fill it with G-flex epoxy.
