I need a tough Ski

Just ripped the edges out of my '09 disorderly's last weekend, so my season is over, which sucks.

I'd like to get a ski that's tough enough to withstand my beatings, it's gotta get me through 2 solid seasons at least. I take care of my equipment, but when I'm using it, I go hard.

Any Suggestions?

allthough theyre insanely awesome i wouldnt reccomend a ninthward ski for your issue, cause they get a lot of beating on rails etc and it tears of alot of the top layer / edge. however they last atleast 2 seasons unless u break em in half. they're soft and poppy aswell a s light for that matter.

well park skis usually get abused so i mean to be honest you're best bet is a pair of line chronics. seriously though you can ski them without edges you'll be fine, quit being a mr. complainy pants.

Thanks for the suggestion, and the maternal favor. She's been lonely since my dad left.

So the consensus seems to be armada, although I read that the core material is questionable this year? (binding tear-outs)
        Is there anywhere I can find the previous ar6's for sale?

atomic urban triplets, probably the most durable ski ever produced. they were poppy as fuck, had metal strips in the base underfoot to make rails smoother, and they absolutely never ever break. my friend has had them for 6 YEARS and has done just about everything to them thats bad for a ski, but they still rip.

and the best part: when you buy them it comes with 3 skis in case one of the other ones break.

If you are shopping with durability as your #1 concern and buy anytihng but an indie you're a retard.  ON3P's edges and bases are CRAZY thick, as well as Moment and Praxis.  I know people who have had their Praxis for years and years and they are still going strong with no real damage.  Same w ON3P, their shit just lasts and lasts and lasts...  Just like your mother last night. 

inb4 some fucking noob tries to tell me their scratch BCs are teh shitz.

not this... my buddy's boronowski new life's are coming apart after less than a season.

i rode a pair of line invaders for three years before the edge came out, they were absolutely bomb proof. I have another friend who is on his third season on invaders too. Buuuuut i doubt you will be able to find any of those around. I'm on this years chronics now and they're pretty solid but the edge is cracked and probably wont last the season.

I'd consider going with some afterbangs, although I'm leaning more toward the indie companies right now. I won't buy another K2, their company is too large to have adequate quality control.
