Sorry for making a stupid thread about getting new skis, but I'm really having a hard time choosing.

I am about 6foot and 200lbs. I basically beat the shit out of my skis. I ski 85% rails and the rest of the time hit jumps. Currently i'm skiing K2 extremes and they've started to fall apart after about 35 days hitting only park. I found a really nice deal for surface no times so I'm thinking of getting a pair. I've heard that they have durability problems, is this true? If it is then could some one recommend a pair of skis that are durable, maybe a bit wider than extremes, doesn't have to be stiff and I'd like them to have rocker/early rise.

I would say they would be to soft for you.

how are the double times then ? They'd be a bit stiffer and wider, maybe a god ski for me, but are they durable or are they just going to eat shit after 10 days ?

They would def be a better ski. And i would say they would hold up.
