Well if you're looking for a good park ski, look elsewhere. The Surface New Life is a pow ski.

New Life is a pow ski for sure....
If you're looking for an all mountain ski, look into the Double Time (90mm waist), or the Watch Life (100mm waist)

And there is nothing wrong with the durability of those skis.

I have the 184 New Life prototypes, and I would 100% recommend them as a groomer ski. the camber tip-to-tail and generous sidecut ensure you'll be carving turns with the best of them!

wait, what?

All that bad shit was last year.
Everything this year is going to last. The things you hear are edges cracking, and that's what happens to park skis. I don't want this thread to turn into an argument about that though.

If you're looking into a Surface Pow ski, go for the New Life, nice and fat, sick rocker, should be fine on the groomers. A more versatile fat ski would be the One Life. It's what I ski on. 112mm in the waist, stiff, huge rocker. Kills it in anything. I find them very playful, the rocker lets me get up on the tips to butter around in powder and anything really. The One Life has camber underfoot too, as opposed to the flat New Life.

i love my new lifes! they are pretty stiff and really easy to stomp your shit on and work suprisingly well in most conditions (excluding sheer ice)
