I have last years. Amazing pop, Moderate to butter on, and bad durability. I've only been skiing on them this season and there starting to look like my old skis I had for 2 years. Either scott punisher jibs aren't very durable, or K2 makes amazing kids skis.

Every ski review is going to say something about how it has great durability. Going to people that have actually skied them for more than a day is a great resource

My friend has these skis and they lasted him less than a season. The durability was very poor, started out as edge cracks leading to edges falling out which finally led to the ski pretty much falling apart.

From a shop perspective....we've sold a good number of the Scott Jib TW at our PCMR shop.  We haven't seen anyone come back with any serious damage issues.  All seems to be pretty common wear (so far).  No de-lam issues either.

I had them for a season and the durability was fine to me, no edge cracks, no delam, that was the best part about them though.

Medium-soft flex I'd say, leaning more towards medium.

Not hugely poppy but they're good enough.

Stability when skiing fast is what made me dislike them, they'll be fine in the park but if you're really going fast they're just not good enough.
