My Last Pair of Skis to Get..

So I'm going to college next year and I really can't spend money on skis or ski setups after that and I wanted to see which ski I should get that is SUPER DURABLE.

I got the Rossignol Scratch with the Axial2 bindings this year and they were awesome in the park, but weren't as durable as I was hoping. About 3 inches of the edge on one of my skis is blown out, and there are a bunch of edge cracks. The edges are about to go. Also, when I got them, I noticed the edges weren't completely connected at the tips, and the top sheet cracked in a semicircle lining up right with the tips. It seems like the ski is about to fall apart.
Also my friend snapped his Armada THall's and his Afterbangs.
So overall, wasn't looking to get Rossi, Armada, or Line skis, unless they have other models that are extremely durable. I heard that the Filthy Rich by ON3P will last me forever, and was thinking about those. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

filthy rich is a good option if you are skiing all park, however if you need it to be a one ski quiver and take it all mountain and pow sometimes, i would look to the jeronimo. both are great choices though, depending on what your needs are

as for bindings, any decent binding with some metal would be good, just dont get some plastic shit binding.

The bindings I have now are awesome and are in good condition. I just need a new ski not new bindings.

I would say Filthy Riches or K2 Domains. Both very durable skis.
