Anthem Durability

So I've heard a lot of bad experiences with Anthem's durability, and some good ones.  Does anyone have personal experience with this ski for more than a season?  Does doing rails make a big difference?  I mean a really chipped topsheet bugs me, but does it get worse than that?

duability sucks, my top sheets chipping like mad, blew an edge (Probably completly my fault). Awsome skis, but don't count on hitting lots of rails and generally abusing them and them lasting more then a season. I rode mine for about 5 months, they are rideable now, but bearly.

Yeah the top sheet not the greatest but edges and bases hold up  really good. Obviously you will get rail damage and what not but it's a really good ski. Plus any ski you use for rails and jibs primarily, they will all eventually breakdown. So don't expect any urban ski to last you a long time.
