CashmereCatI wouldn't say they are extremely durable honestly. I am aware that rails to put a lot of stress on skis but just taking them through the park a couple times a day when I wasn't teaching as a ski instructor pretty quickly led to the ski warping underfoot, the edge cracking like mad, and delaming. I wan't too worried about it but eventually on one ski the edge came out and on the other It actually ended up poking through the base of the ski. This made them all but unridable and unable to get another pair I had to miss out on about a months pay. I might look other places if durability is a big factor for you.
Jon_TafferThat's what you get when you buy skis based off the topsheet

CashmereCatNot why I bought them... Coming off the nordica soul riders I knew I liked the shape and flex profile but I wanted to explore more skis of that type. The reviews were good and it seemed like these were the ski for me. All in all I'm not that big of a fan of the topsheet of the twisters. Kinda clash with the all black I wear...

tomPietrowskiJust of of interest if you were teaching on them did they have sharp edges or did you detune them? If you were riding sharp edges in rails that can certainly lead to more damage then if you detune.
McLSI might get a pair of all plays for park mainly (i've been riding park on 136-98-128 for 2 seasons now) my only concern is how they perform as a park ski (since they're more of an all moutain) and they're a bit thinner that what I'm used too (I just love fat skis in the park).
@op, was the collab with ski the east confirmed?? If I end up getting all plays I definitely wanna go with those graphics, do you have a link? I can't find it anymore.
captain_whaleThe pictures of the topsheet are up on the Ski The East Instagram and I think the facebook page also. They haven't anounced the base's but I am assuming they will look good. Also I spoke with a salesman through a live chat on the website and he confirmed the collab and said they would be coming out in the near future.
