What do people think is the most durable park ski this year or last year? I hit 60% rails 40% jumps, right now I have K2 domains, got em in november, I'm on the park crew at my local mountain here in Maine, so i ski ALOT. The domains r holding up pretty good, but they have the most edge cracks. Im looking at jib skis and comp skis, whats the most durable?

People have good things to say about Moment and ON3P. Volkl Walls are good choice. Armadas hold pretty well from what ive heard.

Mabeye in the past, but in recent years Salomon durability has been terrible.

I'd have to disagree. I burned through 2 pairs of Volkl Walls in one season, but my AR6s are holding up super strong.

next year you have 9th with their new series of park skis with burly edges

the always bombproof armada, volkl, k2, and liberty

definitely look out for liberty with their lte and their new park ski i believe is called the antigen, liberty is steppin up

i've had two of my friends already break their salomons this year. im riding this years line afterbangs and theyre really sturdy. only problem is that the paint chips off so easily, but i would definitely suggest a pair of those or prob armadas

^S4's are indestructible. Seen so many people beet the shit out of em and have no damage whatsoever. Volkls are also really durable, like bombproof durable, my ledges had absolutely no damage after two seasons of abuse.

there really a bad choice that anyone has suggested here pick the ski that best suits your ski style. just take care of your gear and you'll be golden

90% of NS gear talk is people claiming what they bought and then defending it to the last. The other 10% are people who broke something and are hating on it.
