i have some ninthward butters 06 and they suck!! the topsheets are falling apart! lol anybody looking to buyin some 9wards i would say no until they get the top sheets fixed.. hopefully the new ones dont have this same prob... i wanna find a good park ski that has a durable top sheet as well as a kick ass ski as well...

weight...170.
height...5'11
....advanced park skier

i want a flexible ski that is still stiff enough to stomp switch landings and butter... any body have some suggestions?
any help come people would be helpful to me.. thanks!!

i have 9ward Mik D Pro Rookys and Firstbloods, and i agree the topsheets chip super easily, the second day on my mik ds they were already a mess, but i think they are the best park skis ive ever been on by FAR, and the fact that the topsheet is chipping isnt a huge deal to me.  i havent been on butterliciouses, but i gotta say dont disregard 9s just cause of the topsheet issue

spks have super nice top sheets. acutally any salomon ski basicly the dumonts are the softest for top sheets

its just the fucking top sheet, who cares. It doesnt harm the way you ski.

Dynastar skis topsheets hold together like no other. They may chip on the edges if you're hard on them, but no delam problems or topsheet problems.

you like the spk's.... what do they ski like... havn't heard much bout them.. nobody around here has any salomon expect for the dumonts and i guess those are sick... might look at those or the spk for next season.. maybe get a good deal on end of season sales... lol i dont care what they look like.. grahpics are what ur paying for each new year so.. rather save money...

topsheet durability should be one of the last things you consider when buying a ski.  Obviously delam is going to be a bitch,  but mere chipping?  It's a ski, not your grandma's tea set.  Of course it's going to get fucked up when you're flying through the air whacking them together, and sliding along pieces of metal.  If it has a chip, throw a sticker over it or something.

You should be considering things like edge durability, camber, mounting plate strength, and price more.

well no fucking shit u dumbass... those are A. your top things to look for... but im sick of buying a awsome ski that fucking chips away the 1st week you have them... i would like to find a ski that is killer in the park and that doesnt chip so easily... fuck lol do you have a to be a fucking asshole? lol no shit your not fucking trying to keep your park skis in cond. of fucking race skis your dipshit... you obv. are going to have dam. but i was seeing what type of skis will tend to hold upt he best... aka brands and models... example like ninthward chips really easy.. and line use to delam but now its fixed... and what other people say about hte skis such as salomons holding up pretty well and still are kick ass skis... lol wow... all i have to say is wow..

well youre a dick but im not so i'll tell you that my fujatives have held up the three years and each year ive had like 50 plus days a season. also if youre just chipping your top sheets its probably just you kicking your skis together on the lift so you should check out the public enemies with the ptex top sheets so you can fix them whenever you get chips.
