Hey guys, so I was at the Woodward Mt Bachelor park trying this challenge rail which ended up severely damaging one of my skis and was hoping to get some advice on the best course of action. I've attached a video that shows when it happened, a close up of the rail setup, and the damage to the ski. I think it obvious that it was built in a way that wasn't safe or ridable at all, and unfortunately I didn't notice the offset of the second rail until it happened. I talked to the park crew manager after it happened, gave him the same videos and explained the situation. He said he would talk to his higher-up and see if I could get compensated, but in the end he said they can't do anything but offered to try and fix the ski.
Do you guys think the ski is even fixable? Also I understand there's an inherent risk to riding park and having your gear get damaged, but I feel like in this scenario it was easily avoidable if park crew had built the feature correctly or closed it until it was safe to ride. I'm a college student with not alot of money and was hoping to have those skis last till the end of the season.
Bit of a rant and maybe there's nothing I can do but just sucks to have that happen when it wasn't really your fault, especially at a place like Woodward where you would think they would build quality features. But anyways, what do you guys think I should do?
