Amplid makes great quality stuff. Haven't seen or heard the same about Ninthward. I would go with Amplid for sure.

Not sure if they changed anything, but had/seen 2 pairs of dogmas and 1 pair of townships only last 20 days before edge ripped out. So in my experiences Amplid has super shitty edge durability.

Took me 3 seasons of beating the piss out of my 9s to get an edge crack. Im not even worried about it pulling out tho for at lease another 2.

9s for sure.

Could be just bad luck too. My friend has Amplid Syntaxes and he beats the shit out of them. One and a half season now and still going strong.

Another friend of mine had Ninthward Le Comtes. The edges on those things broke so fast. I'm talking Salomon Suspect -fast.

I have ridden everything on my anti dogmas (urban,park,bumps,pow) and its a pretty solid all around ski and haven't had any problems yet. Only thing that I dislike is te sidewalls get beat up pretty easily
