So I bought a pair of 178 Octoland Anthems late in the summer 08. I've loved the skis themselves, they've preformed very well. But the quality has been less than satisfactory. The biggest problem is the edge is ripping out of the where they join at the tail and it's taking the base material with it. It's not like the very tip of the tail of my ski takes any abuse really at all, in fact the skis in general have been taken care of fairly well and don't have a ton of use. No more than 30 days on hill, (only half of those in the park) probably another 25 spent in my backyard, and have seen no urban. Also, the top sheets are beat to hell, even more than any cap construction ski I've ever had.
