Edge crack

There's not much you can do at all, and it won't affect your ski much. There's a fair amount of material between the core and the edge. Just keep tabs on it, so if the edge starts pulling out you can file it down to stop it from catching while you ski. If you're hitting rails regularly, edge cracks will naturally proliferate until pieces of edge start to fall out. Depending on the flange that holds the edge in the ski, it might fall out in small pieces (if the flange is perforated or toothy i.e. Faction, Liberty) or it might tear out in large pieces at a time (if the flange is flat/smooth i.e. Head, 4Frnt)

I know the Magnus 90s have teeth. I'd imagine the rest of them do too.

Take a day or so to put the skis in a warm place to drive out any moisture thats got in the gap then put some JB weld in and on the crack. Once cured, file/sand it down making sure to end up with a smooth surface otherwise thats just gonna grab the next time you hit a rail.

Assuming its not been too long, the reinforcing and edge tape over the base and edge will have protected the core.

Best way to avoid more cracks is to round your edges underfoot and after a day hitting rails, take a gummy stone to the rounded edge to take off any grabby burrs on the edge.

This little bit of constant maintenance will improve the life of your edges. Keep the gummy stone in your car/ bag and put it in your shoes when you put your boots on then you wont forget to run it over the underfoot edges when you go to put your shoes back on.

What is this flange you speak of? The part of the edge that is inside the ski?
