What are the tuffest skis out there? In the past five years I've busted Dynastar's, Rossi pow'air (the 1st model they came out with, black and green, and the red ones with the skull, a pair of k2 enemys, delaming, and my line motherships are starting to delam bad. I've heard volkl are tuff so I might try them next year.
Anyone have any opinions.

fischer airstyle nt's are probably the most solid skis you will find.

head madtrix... the topsheet will scratch fairly easily, but the ski WILL NOT delaminate or break, ever...

who told you armadas are bombproof? not what we've seen with the pro's skis. in europe their armadas were all busted up and taped with duct tape, etc. and some of their riders were actually on other brands cause theirs were all broken. of course this was in december. maybe they're better now?

ive never waxed the bases of my 1080s, and i think that dried them out so much that they are like rock. ive given them soooo much abuse in the past year and they dont have any scratches at all, and they dont have pressure cracks or anything. i even side slipped a run that only had a foot deep layer of powder, then it was sheer rock underneath, and the edges are still in good condition. so id definatley say that last years 1080s are the most bomb proof skis out there

I have blizzard fr-18's and ive put them through hell, the only thing is the base isnt the most durable, Ive seen some fucked up 1080's that look like they should have broken 5 times but they still ski fine, I saw a pair of Volkl Expressions break -dont know what they went through though
