This weekend I took out some edge underfoot on my skis. Gonna keep riding these, just cut that chunk of edge out with a grinder.


Just wondering y’all’s opinion on when it’s actually time to replace a pair of skis cuz they’re too beat.


Feel free to turn this into a “beat-up skis” compilation or brag about who skis the most beat-to-shit setup.

This is from last december. I’m still riding these skis now. They look worse but are epoxied the fuck up. Still riding like a tank, I won’t retire them until they don’t hold binding screws anymore.

I rode a pair of Volkl Walls back in the day that the nose was snapped on but we riveted 2 plates to hold them together.

my skis look the same

I feel like going physco with a Dremel and epoxy makes them bulletproof when done correctly

I just can't kill them and its been a full season looking like this now

Mad respect. The epoxy I use is the same... bombproof. When it falls out I just put more in. It’s keeping the wood sealed off perfectly and almost acts as an artificial edge at this point so I can still turn in soft stuff
