Well since you were so descriptive, I'm gonna say 15,000,000 years.

all depends on how hard you'll be slaying the rails. you should be able to get 1 season if you don't treat your skis like shit (given that they're decent skis as well).

Do you spend all your time hittin rails in the park and urban? If you do you might get 2 seasons if you are lucky more like one but if rails are an occasional thing dont worry about it

depends on the skis, lines making some superdurable ones, along with the dogmas. anyways edges are what you should be worried about (cracks, splits, coming out, etc.)

wow...

It depends on a) the ski you're riding - so skis have different bases that can take more abuse than others, b) how many rails per-day, c) temperature of the rail - hot rails and boxes melt bases, and d) what type of rail or box is/what condition the rail is.
