anyone ride either of these skis?

care to leave some feedback?

i'm particularly interested in the durability of either of these skis after a season of hitting rails. I've heard that Rossis are more durable than Atomics, but I'd like to hear from anyone who has more experience with either of these sticks.

thanks

I'm from Australia so our season just ended and everyday I rode the punx. honestly, best park ski I've ever riden! I had so much fun buttering due to the soft flex. the top sheet help up pretty well considering I lapped the park most weekend. all mountin skiing, they aren't the best for. however, you can't expect that when the flex is that soft. I would highly recommend the ski!

The big difference between both skis is the width and flex. the Punx has an 82mm waist while the storms' waist is 10mm more. In terms of flex, the storms are much stiffer. Rossignol has been making skis with durable edges for a long time now, atomic on the other hand did have some minor problems relative to rossignol. The 2013 do have thicker edges than last year, so that's a big plus in my opinion.

From personal experience, I own a pair of 2012 punx and they have been holding up fine and this year's are probably even more durable.
