recently its been every year, btu thats because of mishaps such as skis getting stolen and used skis getting completely destroyed
normally id say 2-3 years though considering luck is good

Too often.

And now it appears I am harsher on my skis so it looks like it will still be too often :/

So basically I get a new pair of skis every year fuuuuu.

Usually twice a season...skiing 8hours a day 6 days a week on pretty much all rails=lots of broken skis.

I'm hoping my Filthy Rich's make it the whole season...so far they're looking good.

Old scratches were bombproof.

It all depends. My amplids lasted less than a season, my invaders are on their 3rd season, and just got anthems in case my invaders ever decide to quit. My seasons are usually 60-90 day seasons 4-10 hours mostly on rails.

When I need them. I got 4 years out of my troublemakers before I had to retire them, I'm on my second season on my Caylors (with a few more to come) and my first on my recoils

Like once a year? Normally only if I need them but I always get suckered by end-of-season sales and end up buying something I demo'd for a couple of runs and really liked, but didn't actually need.

Hence why I have Punx and Ace of Spades... oops.

Jesus, how do you manage that? I'm lucky if I can get 4 days a week, and I'm just a high school student working 8 hours a week...

Once I start overpowering them in critical situations where I need them to push back harder.

Yeah, like Balto said, I'm the part of the Park Crew at a small mountain...it's pretty much my job to ski, kinda a perk for getting to the mountain 3 hours before it opens...haha.

its always around the 1.5 year mark that my skis start to really become tough to ride and I end up just holding off until the next season. So 2 years usually for me.

You probably don't log that many days a season then... Or if you do, you don't spend much time in the park/on rails... I mean, I only get about 30-40 days a season max, with maybe 30% rails 70% jumps, and I still need new skis once every 2 seasons or so... I mean, obviously I can still use them, but they get to the point where they're starting to delam, are chipped to hell, ridiculous scratches in the bases, etc.
