Question Are my skis repairable?

The tip of my Volkl Alleys are pretty much destroyed, at least on the right ski. I think its from doing nose presses and putting stress on the tip, but the skis delaminated, are showing stress marks, and the base is braking off/caving in. Should I follow through and repair them (seems like it would be extremely difficult) or buy a nicer pair for an amazing price?

Sounds like a fun do-it-yourself project.

Or check out your local thrift shop.

Grab another pair at a swap or consignment or garage.
Skis are a consumer good - they don't last very long if you actually ski
on them.
