Try buying second or third hand skis, last years models etc.

You can get really good deals on skis from like 2012 that people have hardly skied and want to get rid of because they purchased a brand new set up.


That said, even though most people on here don't recommend them (not cool?) I personally find all of salomons park skis to be super durable.

If you know that you are broke, maybe you should limit the amount of things that you that ends up breaking them. Brakes break pretty easily, but at least aren't too expensive to replace. If you do a lot of urban, maybe you should hold off on that until you can afford a beater set of skis that you don't care about.

Hence why people go through like a pair or two of afterbangs a season. I remember like 3 years ago when the afterbangs were soooooo popular with the ones with like the slime monster on them and litterally everyday at my hill i would see at least one kid break a pair hahaha.

I have a pair of Batalla 175 Park Reapers, been skiing them for about 20 days. I've ridden them all over the mountain except the park, however I do one day hope so. I ride big mountain & powder, and I couldn't ask for a better ski!!! Batalla Skis have exceeded in building the finest skis on the market.

Anything skiing. This covers delams, edge cracks, sidewall, and core, all structural components of the ski. Not cosmetic damage.

Wow. This alone would make me buy your skis. It always frustrates me that companies market park skis yet rails are never covered on warranty.

Yea thats really surprising. I understand why most companies don't cover edge cracks under warranty though. Edge cracks are part of park skiing, as long as im not missing more than 6 inches underfoot it doesn't bother me.

Buy last years, buy used shit. I got a pair of 07 public enemies that had barely been ridden and never really seen the park for $31. People sell some pretty legit setups that are a little beat up but super nice shit for like $50 all the time. Shit people get for xmas and then get new shit, or just when people buy new skis they liquidate the old rather than letting it sit around.

If you're worried about trashing your skis, buy some that are cheap and halfway there.

Honestly man DO NOT go with ON3P, bought a pair of Kartel 98's in December and after less than two months of use I snapped the edges on both skis, with two cracks on one side. After that the edges started delaming from the base and here we are. I just ordered a pair of Batalla's, direct through the owner and he is going to deliver them personally this week. Also, ON3P customer service was very slow and wouldn't do anything to help me, on the other hand Batalla responded immediately and I will have my skis from them in less than a weeks time.
