I spent the entire season on Crop Dusters and Sherpas, and both were extremely durable. I had 50+ days on the Crop Dusters, which includes everything from big mountain comps with rock landings to the occasional rail and park jump. Never got a core shot or edge damage beyond some rounding. The only durability issue I found was some topsheet chipping which obviously has no effect on the performance of the ski.

If you're thinking of getting a pair I'd say go for it. My Epic Planks are honestly my favourite skis I've ever used.

This is true, I do ski for Epic Planks. So take what I say with a grain of salt. I would.

Keep in mind though, if I thought the skis were garbage I'd have kept my mouth shut. Lying to potential customers is not the way to represent a brand that supports you.

In all honesty, I've found the durability to be on par with the best skis on the market. I love how they ski and I would recommend them to anyone.
