hey all, after owning a pair of dynastar trouble makers for a year ive come to learn that the "reinforced edge" doesnt mean they are better for rails, it just means that with out reinforcement they would absolutly suck balls. ive just blown my 3rd edge, and been told by my local shop that it wouldnt be worth the cost of fixing them, and that they are dead. to get to the point im on the look out for new skis, and am after a pair that will fair slightly better than the last. Are there any skis that are more rail suitable than others?

rails are bad for every ski, but from other peoples experiences the Head MadTrix are pretty damn durable

Slamming skis onto lengths of steel isnt the best thing for skis, but it was a great thing for the ski industry.

to keep your edges from getting totalled you should get them blessed by a gypsy

My pair of K2 PE's have held up on eveything for 2 years. I mean everything the extreme's should probably do the same but that isn't where I'm putting my money next year
