okay, here's the deal: I can get 2005 madtrix for $300 and mojo for $400

but i will only be skiing like 5 times this season and maybe a little more next season, then it's college so like 80-100 days a year.

which one should i get and will they hold up that long?

Will they hold? Head skis are bomb-proof.

humm, since head builds the skis witha certian binding in mind, i would go with the marker comp 1400, i believe that that is the binding most of the pro guys use. and yes, you will be needing a wide break, if not those, p12s are always a solid choice, or if you are going for weight s912ti but i have had people have trouble with the heels pulling out of them, so keep that in mind if you plan some rough switch landings, but then arain it could have just been the mount. i would decide on them in that order.

No way man. I got a pair of Look P12 Jibs for my Maid'N AKs and they were at a moderate price. $230 + Fat brake...plus they have a vertical toe release, which might be good.
