What is a good ski that is durable and will hold up for more than one season of beating in the park? i was thinking about k2 domains. dont even say line afterbangs. Any suggestions?

This should be in gear talk but whatever... It really depends on what your looking for in your ski (soft, stiff, playful, responsive)

Line afterbangs But seriously look into some on3p's. everyone on here loves them. There definitely gonna be my skis next year. Other options could be armada, k2, moment. They all make pretty durable skis from what I've heard.

k2 recoils are nice, this years models look pretty cool in my eyes, i have the 2011 but whatever. Even though they aren't fully symmetrical they are fairly nice skis for most styles of ride.

I have the armada domains 2012, and they are very durable. Ive been hitting park since the beginning of the season and no top sheet chipping, delaming, or major base scratching. I think they are great, go for it

one does not simply make a soft, but stiff ski.

truly though, it doesn't really matter if a ski is soft. atomic punx are some of the softest skis on the market and if the entire team can do big air on them you'll be fine on a maximum of 60 foot jump. (which i'm assuming is the biggest you'll hit since mountains don't usually make bigger than that.) i hit 55 foot jumps all last season nearly every day on afterbangs and i was fine. skis are skis in the end, and there are minor differences between each.

yes. and seriously, chronics. they're 92 at the waist so they can handle deeper snow, light so you can work them around in the park, and pretty stable for being rockered

Everyone says there the most durable park skis out there. You should check out the ON3P thread though. I'm probably getting them next year.

i have the line TC's and i beat the shit out of them, they hold up well and i love the butter zone on the tip and tail, but they are stiffer under foot. i'd recommend these...



or ON3P's everyone loves those, and they are defiantly worth the money

The domains are symmetrical, and it DOES make a difference, it makes riding switch easier and it makes the ski more balanced for rails.

What about Line Step Ups, there pretty soft in the tips of the skier yet a really stable underfoot.
