Economic skis

Just went through a pair of skis in about a month, and I dont want to throw away more money just to have the skis break quickly. I understand that after a few seasons the ski will break, but a month just seems awfully quick. Warranty claimed that I had hit rails so its a nogo on that. What is the most economical park ski I could get i.e. long lasting as well as not to expensive. Thanks for any help!

If you don't mind stiff skis surface blanks. More on the cheep side than durability but they sell them in singles.

Level 9 has cheap as hell ninthwards. I snagged a pair in the summer, they've been awesome. Made by Elan I think so actually pretty quality pair of sticks.

L9 is a quality shop, and 9's are a cheap, durable ski.

You could also go with a cheap ski. It might break more often than the hardiest of skis, but at less of an expense.

Joysick These & Surface Blanks both fit on a tight budget. If you're really pressed for cash, go to the BST and get some used skis or something. You might even be able to snag some skis from last year's lineups for a serious discount in the spring.
