2 Main Questions I have are...

Are these skis durable??
How do they handle crud/chopped powder all around the mountain??

I'm just looking for a review on the pros/cons for the New Life's... I've heard surface isn't the most durable brand, but I'd like to hear from NS.. Would you recommend them? Do they ski well outside of fresh powder?? I'm looking into buying last years model.. Thanks guys

Mine have been bomber - 3 seasons (probably 100+ days on em) and still going strong. I ski em everywhere from the park to cliffs to crud and they rock.

Well i have only had One Lifes which i'm assuming are pretty similar in durability. They lasted me three seasons and probably 30ish days in the park. If i wasn't doing nose presses/butters every run on their final day i think they would still be with me today. (commence crying)

Stay away from the softer Surface park skis//Buy the pow ones

Hands down the funnest ski ive ever skied on. Got like 40+ days on them last year. Only issue is the topsheet was chipping on the nose of my left ski but they have been bombproof other than that.
