No, you can't ride with a broken trailing arm, it'll tear the rest of that side out of the sled...Did it rip the bolt out of the tunnel, or did just the arm break?

Pictures would help us help you! Also, please try to use whole sentences.........it's difficult to determine where one of your thoughts end & the next one begins.

The trailing arm provides horizontal support for the suspension. It prevents the suspension from getting ripped off from forces pushing back on the skis. In order for us to help we're going to need a very detailed description of what heppend or even better a picture!

Definitely replace the trailing arm. Then get the mount welded. If not, you're going to do some real damage to the suspension.

Look up "welding" in the yellow pages.
