I haven't seen much on either of these skis other than people saying they used to snap all the time, so I what's the deal with them, I know both of these skis could be a good fit for me, but I do have some questions; flex and flex patterns for each ski, durability, weight, pop, lively-Ness and over all fun? Here's some personal stuff if you were wondering I'm 6'0" 180 and ski 95% park which is divided to 70/30 rails/jumps (jumps 20-55ft) any help would be greatly appreciated and as always +k for anything helpful

The ski that had major durability problems was the nine lives, which was the predecessor to the no time. The double time seems to have a pretty clean track record, and from what I've heard, the durability problems around the no time seem to be a thing of the past. The double time is the wider and stiffer ski of the two, so it'll be better for hitting big jumps, although the no time is lighter (and if you're only hitting 25 footers anyways, softness shouldn't be a huge issue...). At your size, I would think you'd rather be on the double time for its added stability. Also, if you end up taking a run outside of the park, the double time would be the better ski on high speed groomer runs or in variable conditions. I've heard good things about both skis, though, and I'm sure you'll be happy with either one.

Hes right, the durability has been increased between both skis. In your case I'd go with the No time's since you pretty much want a pure park ski.

Sick, totally forgot about blanks. I remember surface saying that they are better the no times because of improved durability and added carbon stringers. Good luck !!

No, the blanks are the exact same ski as the no time, just with a clear topsheet. You may have misunderstood surface when they were talking about how the increased the durability and pop of previous versions of the no time by adding carbon stringers and beefing up construction and adding more camber.
All times are Eastern (-4)
