i have this years antics and they are one of the most fun skis ive ever ridden. They have wraparound edges this year (had a pair a few years ago that didnt and i had a bunch of problems there) as well as tip and tail rivets.
So far everything is holding up much much better than the last pair i owned. the topsheet hasnt even chipped yet and i havent exactly been being nice to them. also the bases and edges are much more durable.
i think bluehouse finally went back to the drawing board and put together a really good ski. they had a fun ski before but now that it seems the durability issues are fixed its even better.
the only thing i will warn is its 83 underfoot and they dont have any guides for mounting. you have to measure it out on your own. since its a directional ski i had mine measured and mounted 1cm back from center and this works great. still light and poppy with almost no swing weight and can still carve rails when cruising (on the east coast too!)
