Ez fix. Epoxy and clamps will be your friend. Maybe use some duck tape to cover that up if you don't mind how it looks. I have that on both ski tips now and they literally don't affect anything at all.

Actually now is an ideal time for that to happen. The first time I did it was a December so it was really cold and my first epoxy job fell out after a day. If you use overnight epoxy and let it sit for 48 hours with clamps, it probably won't fail unless you do mad nose butters or slam it into something again.

Me too, my duck tape has to be replaced every week or so but it keeps the epoxy in.

Looks like pretty obvious impact damage. I doubt they warranty them.

That is not going to be warrantied. It's obvious impact damage, not a manufacturer defect.
Get some Gflex epoxy and some clamps and you should get plenty more life out of the skis

Eh, easy fix, don't sweat it. It's not your effective edge so you'll get away with it.
