i dont see a reason why skis shouldnt be able to last many years of use. My volkls have stood up like they were made put of titanium. Are any brands better than volkl?

My Js have held up three years after taking plenty of spills and park use on park features. I don’t really know too much about other brands but my first pair of Solomon’s held up nice and I had a pair of Volkl Wall skies 4 years ago. That I got a shit ton of use on. They were dented on the tips and beat to shit completely but rode fine. Not as fast but they rode. After I switched to Js I never really went back to Volkl and never really had an interest in any other companies. People will have their opinions but it takes using them to get a feel for what you like. I had no problems with Solomon or Volkl. If you get a pair of Js though, you won’t be disappointed.

*generic post about ON3P making the best skis in the industry*

Haven't really tested too many skis but they definitely hold up

My Moments are fucking tanks, which is actually a bit of a bummer because I really like the 2020 Wildcat topsheets but I don't have a legitimate reason to replace my '17 Bibbys.

I have to second this regarding the Js.
I wouldnt say they’re core, nor are they seriously relevant in the upper pro scene (because they dont sponsor anyone). But, their skis are killer. Can’t go wrong there.
