I've been looking at a new pair of skis for next year and I'm pretty sure the Diams are the skis I want. I'm just curious about their durability, flex (on a scale of one to 10) and how well they handle on the mountain.

Search bar'd but I couldn't find anything so thanks to anyone who can help me out.

They're awesome. Super poppy. Not super stiff, but not noodly at all. Their durability is superb. Mine have 70+ days on them and are holding up great. They also work great all over the mountain for a park ski since they're a little wider than most park skis.
They're my favorite skis that i've ever ridden on.

Nice, I was hoping to hear something like that. I'll probably be skiing 70/30 (all mountain to park) on them.

They seemed like what I wanted in a ski, they were cheap, and I haven't heard anything bad about them.

And just as a bonus, they throw out a nasty rooster tail.

I haven't done a ton of skiing on them (this ski season was kind of lame for me) but for the few times I have taken them out they have done great.

I skid them for 2 days straight in nothing but woods and I barely had any scratches on the base after hitting MULTIPLE rocks. The sidewalls hold up great and chip way less than I expected. The top sheet is also pretty durable as well.

The only problem I have heard about them is a kid at my local mountain who did something (I'm not sure exactly what) and the plastic at the BH emblem split a little (split where the white meets the black).

I would recommend the skis if you are looking for something that's about a 7-7.5 flex and has HUGE pop to it. They are without a doubt the best $300 dollars I have ever spent and if you are looking for new skis, go Bluehouse for sure.

HOLY THREAD BUMP BATMAN.

I'm only bumping this because I have a question about the Diams. I found a sick fucking deal on them and I was wondering what their weight was like. I have punx right now. Also, is it hard to get used to the extra width? Thanks guys!

I've only used demos so idk about durability but I'd say like 6-7 stiffness out of 10 and they are a lot of fun in the park and on groomers they carve great to
