What’s the most durable park ski?
Any park skiier knows how much their skis get beat up, does anyone know the most durable ski brands or ski models?
If you maintain them the right way, ON3P. // end thread.
But there are also some other pretty durable skis out there, such as Icelantic, Moment, Vishnu.

Salomon Suspects are legendary for durability.

Swap your skis on your feet. In other words, you don’t want to have one specific ski on say, your left foot all the time.
When you get edge cracks, file them way down and then apply some epoxy to any small gap you see. This deters water from getting into the area, which will push the edge out. And it will also keep water out of your core.
If you have delam in tips or tails, use epoxy and clamps. If it’s major, use pop rivets.
Buy some ptex sticks and fill in those bad base scratches or core shots.
Theres probably some more but that’s what I do.
Also, detune your edges when you first get a pair of skis.

in my and friends experience icelantics are pretty terrible.
ive heard vishnu are good idk about moment, ive been riding liberty transfers and they have held up pretty well
Fischer nightsticks. Can’t beat factory
Municipal007Fischer nightsticks. Can’t beat factory
i had a friend that destroyed those so fast
I ride armada arv 86 and they have held up pretty well. My friends also ride armada and they have been lasting
4frnt and j skis.
GRaboneSnow4frnt and j skis.
I’ve actually found that both of those may be the least durable. I’ve ridden 4frnt and the edges cracked in so many places and jskis just is not a sturdy ski

I have rode Jskis Whipits all year and they have been very durable. No edge cracks, some topsheet chips but not a lot.

Maybe it was just the model I saw before? Let me know when they finally start to fall apart.
CatdickBojanglesSalomon Suspects are legendary for durability.
I’ve had two pairs and they both got the edges pulled out in like 20-30 days and the tip of one ski broke on the other pair :/

Suspects are notorious for exploding due to the “edge armor” Kevlar strings connecting the edges.

It seems like you have direct experience or pretty strongly held views on many of the manufacturers already.
What do you think is the most durable park ski?
Have you used Amplid, Majesty, Twoowt, RMU, HG?

I’ve ridden line which delams really badly, 4frnt which the core fall apart very quickly and it looses its camber and it also has edge cracking problems and armada which has been great so far however i noticed a tiny crack in the edge recently but i’ve had no problems. However, one of my friends recently destroyed the edge of his ski on his armadas and he didn’t even 30 days on those skis. I’ve found armada to be the best so far especially with the coat they use on top, very little delam. I have not tried any brand you mentioned so one of they could be durable but i do not know.

My HG's held up really well. Only 3 edge cracks when I finally retired them. J is made in the same factory so they should last just as long.
My Majesty's definitely fell apart underfoot but I put those to the test. Tons and tons of rails. But they lasted almost 3 seasons. My Vandal 2's were one of my favorite all around skis I've had. Got a pair of Lib Tec's coming in the mail next, we'll see how they last.
never had a problem with liberty. beefy skis and great customer service if something does happen.
one that never sees rails

Wait so there not durable at all? That's like saying your neighborhood is safe because there are always cops around.
Got Salomon 1080 in 97 after 600+ days only 4 edge cracks and bases in great shape.
Skied no rails and around 20% park. Still are a fun ski.
