Box Damage

Okay so I bought some of last years 185 Rossi BC WRS (the yellow ones), and I'm going to be skiing them all mountain.  This weekend I'm going up to Sunday River, and I know I'm going to avoid rails, but will boxes be okay with them?  Keep in mind that I want to keep these pristine...  I'm 5'10, 185 lbs, if that matters at all, and a type III skier, very aggressive.

Thanks!

boxes can still give skis a hard time..maybe not as bad as rails, but you will still get some damage.

i think technique could have more to do with ski damage than the object you are hitting

if you want to keep them pristine why don't you just hang them in your room?

Exactly^

Lexan + edges = minimal damage
rail + edges = cracked edges.
