Need a durable ski

I got Afterbangs at the beginning of the season because I was told they were supposed to be super durable... But after a season of not riding them that hard they broke on a little 20 foot jump. So I was wondering what you guys think would be a good durable park ski that will last more than one season.

Thanks

I have ridden head skis for a number of years, I know they are not the most popular...but they can take a beating. Super light too and great all around the mountain. I have the Head JO Pro from a couple years back with the hot twins. I have had them now for 4 seasons and ridden mostly park. Will probably go with the new ones.

I've heard many positive things about ON3P skis on how they are super durable and playful too.

Could it be possible that they had come in contact with some harsh elements, maybe acquired some water damage?

my friend has had a pair of Head JO Pros the past few seasons and is still happy with them and they still are in great condition, crazy compared to some companys which skis are twice as expensive and wayy more popular

I had a pair of head mojo jrs that just wouldn't die. Super strong base, the topsheet is almost impossible to chip. My brother still uses them sometimes.

Head park skis are so underrated.
