Yeah they can lose their responsiveness over time.

skis definitely lose their pop over time, but most people notice it on rails, not jumps, so i would say you were just having a bad day

 ya skis do loose their initial stifness and become more noodlier over time, but companies like ine and k2 put olliebands in some of their products, extremely increaseing the lifetime of the skis pop.

Last year some level 3s told me skis generally last 70-80 days of flex and they lose pop significantly

I have the 04-05's that have +100 days on them and the camber is dead. the skis are almost totally flat and the flex is shot = no pop

You can deff tell that they do when you go from skis that have 200+ days on them to a new pair. I think it depends on the ski though.

yeah, they might have lost their camber too, which would make it not pop and just not as good in general

05/06 TMs here. Also size 165 as yourself, prolly had like 50+ days on them, most of them just standing and skiing down, working as instructor. Definitely lost top, flattened out, I use them for my backyard rail but it's definitely noticeable.
