seriously, just get them. You already have tons of opinions that they are fine, and if they edges weren't good, you would have heard about it by now, wouldn't you?

i have seen like 8 pairs of karma edges just shatter on impact with a rail.  I wouldnt even touch them.




















what the fuck, go by personal experience.

My friend has last years Karma 177's...they are fucking money, they absolutely kill it everywhere, he uses them to ski big-mountain chutes from the tram at Big Sky, and then when it's time for lunch does park on the way to the lodge...just get them, they are so versatile, you probably won't need another ski except for the most epic powder days.

only one guy siriusly has responded to this thread, everyone else talks about the overall ski durability. i could be wrong but i think the guy who posted this wants to know about the edges. and i would like to as well.

Alright, well I'm pretty confident that edges fall into "overall ski durbility" cause if your topsheet is fine but your edges are ripped out, thats not a very durable ski, now is it? They are durable in all aspects, so yes, the edges are durable as well...is that better?
