Cracked boot shell

Found this today, about 50 days on the boots




Im planning to buy new boots in the next couple weeks, but I have plans to ski a few times until then.
Would this crack be problematic to keep skiing or should it hold up a bit longer?

Been skiing with a cracked shell for a couple of seasons now. Hasn't been as issue. I agree with the guy who recommended taping it up, though.

Cracked a dalbello once, they warrantied it and sent me a brand new pair. You should try to make that happen.

What boots are those? I've seen this too many times at the seem between two different plastic types. I've started looking for only one piece construction when buying boots.

I would not do any high impact skiing on those personally but they’ll ski for longer for sure.
