The bases look like they could do with a bit of TLC but they should be repairable. The rust will soon disappear when you start skiing on them again. If you get them serviced all that will be taken care off. If the rust is really bad it might leave some pitting but that won't matter unless you are a racer trying to shaving micro seconds off your time - which isn't going to happen anyway with those bases  .
I have seen a lot worse. In fact I have a pair of skis with worse bases than that. Though I only use them for ski touring/mountaineering in Scotland where they tend to take a lot of punishment.
Bottom line - repairable I'd say.

@glisser,
If you want to repair them they are certainly not dead yet, but then of course if you really want to buy some new toys I'd just bin them

Ill get a full service on them then. They were pretty good spec 4 years ago.

They appear perfectly fit for a service. A full service should get them back to looking and performing like new. A proper structure from a stone grind compared to a cheap belt grind finish will also aid glide and wax absorption.
