So today my beloved Surface Ninelifes finally cracked in half...Do I get an invitational now?...Im kidding. but anyways i loved these skis with all of my heart. So, seeing that im in need of some new skis very quickly, i am looking at the no times. Am i going to have the same problem with these? Also I was wondering about very similar types of skis that ride similar to Ninelifes. Thanks guys

Also atomic punx seem to be pretty similar, (lightweight, slim dimensions.) They are softer than nines though if that matters to you.

2012 salomon suspects are actually pretty durable. the 2011s and earlier models were awfull but im around your same height and weight and i love the suspects.
