Just to see what your thoughts on what the most bombproof ski is, whether its from your own experience or a friends. Regardless of how stiff or soft the ski is, just seeing what you guys think is the most bombproof ski.

I just realized something. Almost everything anyone has said has been "older". Does that mean todays skis are shit quality, or just that they haven't had time to be tested?

Well a little bit of both i think. And its hard to give new skis credit yet, because of what you said, lack of testing.

Yep, Madtrix/Mojo 80s I'd agree are bombproof.

Who the hell said old Lines are solid? I have a pair of 00/01 Skogens that literally fell apart in about 3 weeks skiing.

And K2 Enemys? Those were probably the worst construction ever. That ski is the reason why K2 have rivited the tips in all their twintips ever since.

Here are my bombproof scratches.  I thought they were great, but not bombproof.

armada doesnt seem to be very bomb proof, not a bad ski but it looks like they could work on their durability
