A couple of days ago I was at good will when I noticed 2021 k2 poachers with pivot 18s on them for 25. My question is, is there a way to fix the damage that has been done and try to reuse the skis or just take the bindings and throw away the skis etc : would clamps and epoxy fix my problems?

You didn’t really have to make two threads. Get ready for the incoming West Systems G flex epoxy copypasta.

clean out the delaminating areas as much as you can, put some marine epoxy in the openings and clamp. You can put in some rivets too.

Pivot 18's for $25 is insane. Probably stolen by some dweeb who didn't know what they had.

You can epoxy, clamp, then wrap real good duct tape. They will last a while, but ultimately they're toast and 18's deserve better.

I disagree, a ski isn't broken in until you've had to repair tip and tail delam.

Ducktape. Tip and Tail wont effect the ski much besides the intergity.
