spyderjon once fixed a board for me with way more edge damage than that.
Try searching the forum; he posted a big piece on it.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Do not replace a section of the edge as two joints are a lot weaker than one plus it's a very invasive procedure that requires a section of perfectly good base to be removed etc. Edge replacement would be required if the edge had pulled out and/or was deformed etc, which is often combined with base damage, but all's well on your board in that respect. Best to leave well alone, especially if it's already been properly epoxied and clamped etc. Just make sure there's no high spots on either the base or side edge angles around the cracks so there's nothing to catch.
And that base damage just needs a p-tex weld job to sort it - possibly with a metalgrip foundation layer if there's any exposed core.
That's the downside of a directional board as you can't just turn the bindings around and use the other edge as your heel edge.

The base surface of the edge is in pretty poor shape. You could get the board rideable with only minimal repairs, but it would take extensive work to get a sharp edge again. I would do the former and keep it as a spare and/or for days when further damage is likely (eg poor snow cover). And get a new board for most riding.

Update on the effectiveness of the above repair. Totally unskiable, had to sideslip down the hill just to stop from falling all the way down. The ski just didn't want to do the same thing as the other one.
My tip when the edges are really knackered is go and buy a new pair of skis! Time to make a shelf out of the armadas now.

@Pumba, I like your ingenuity, post some pictures up when you've done it.

The pictures in the previous post were the results of the "repair".
Ingenuity is only any good if it works!!!!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

@Dzmarc,
Turner into a ski rack rather than a shelf.
