freestyler540Is it me or is you core completly rotten through? Looks like the next step is sawdust.
That could be patched with epoxy. Pry it opened a bit, pour the glue, C clamp the it overnight and try. All and all, I think you need new planks.
Actually, these guys are right OP, you need to get rid of those ASAP, a true safety issue.
I'll give you my address so I can... properly dispose of 'em for ya.
it looks like those have a ton of days on them. If you bought them like that I'd be careful, I feel like if topsheets of on3ps look like that the core is also in bad shape.
It's hard to tell from the photos but if the top sheet is bent up and you could fit something between it and the core that could be detrimental to the core of the ski. If that is the case and they've been like that for a while, I'd make sure to have a backup ski nearby. If it was recent, fill the mf with epoxy like people said and make sure the top sheet is all against the core. If it is just chipping you're fine but put some epoxy on it for sure.

how long have they been like this? am i seeing the picture right, and there is a gap between the layers, and therefore a hole into the core area? if so you might be screwed, if water has gotten into the core it will make it much weaker and really compromise the ski
if there's no water in there, epoxy like the guy above said. if you think water is in there, you should have a good shop look at them (cause it's hard to see what's up in pictures here) but their days are probably numbered. moisture in the core is one of the few real death sentences for a ski

ye, was thinking the same... dry them well before you epoxy them up, otherwise the moisture inside will be kept in there and then its just a matter of time and temperature until thermodynamics strike... if u let them dry for some weeks, the gap might close up again... then you know that all the moisture (a significant amount) is gone and its time to epoxy them...
however, try finding a replacement asap, one heavy land and your binding (and prolly acl) is gone

Does it peel up? Or is it chipped but solid? Either way epoxy it up and follow the dudes' advice above. I've never had a problem with chipping getting that bad on my on3ps but a pair did snap the core at the heel piece screws and delemed there behind the binding.
