Anyone got an idea of the durability of J skis (specifically the allplay) or 4FRNT skis? I feel like they are pretty similar brands, meaning that they are not as mainstream as K2 or Armada. Anyone ski on J skis or 4FRNTs? Are they as short lasting as a ski from LINE?

better than line but not on3p type stuff. I would say probably above average durability

J skis I would actually consider to be high tier durability. I’m not sure about their top sheets since that’s hard to test without having some (it’s the least important part of construction too), but construction wise they are up there with Moment and ON3P.

They use the same sintered bases as moment and actually even beefier than Moment. Their edges are 2.2 x 2.5 mm which are beefy but not quite as beefy as ON3P. And they use a strong full height side wall which wraps around the entire ski.

J Skis, Moment, and ON3P are all great durability wise. If you can get any of those you’ll be good

OP, just a fun fact, all three of the companies you mentioned (LINE, J-skis, and 4frnt) have all been owned by Jason levinthal at some point in their history.
