Had these skis for one week and this already happened. I don’t feel like fighting to get warranty on these because I probably will get turned down. How do I repair this? Was thinking I could just fill it with epoxy and clamp it down

bertBertsonSelf-plug maybe but here's how I fixed the same issue: https://www.newschoolers.com/forum/thread/923029/Rate-my-ski-repair
HypeBeastDid you hit something? What does the base look like? If you were skiing groomers and nothing else then I'd be more inclined to say warranty but the vast majority if not all edge cracks are due to damage so not warranty.
QuaggyI did/do the same thing...!
OP, go buy yourself a set of clamps from Ace Hardware and some West Systems G-flex Epoxy, stuff some in the gap and clamp it for 24 hours. Hit it with a box cutter for excess and file smooth:)

SteezMaster68So how did that hold up?
bertBertsonStupidly well considering I used cheap epoxy, still skiing them! I don't take them to the hill but I use them as street beaters so they've put up with many rails, concrete ledges etc.
SteezMaster68Praying this holds. Just jb welded her up.
CatdickBojanglesDid you just use regular JB weld?
SteezMaster68Yes…
CatdickBojanglesShould've used marine epoxy. JB Weld will crack.
