Yo, me and my bro are thinking of buying the Ninthward 09/10 le comte's and the 09/10 MIP's. Has anyone riden these skis, if so how is the durabilty. When exactly did Ninthward start with the elan factory? Are these skis any good, and will they hold up real well on rails?

Thanks

I have a pair of le comte's from 09/10. I love them, they are a really fun ski for rails and jumps, not the most durable ski ever but its just minor things like top sheet chipping, they tend to chip pretty bad from my expeirence with ninthward.
