I've been looking at getting some for a while now but after some more research I found out that the durability has been a problem for some people from last year. I would like to know if the durability has improve for this year and what people think of them since I've been having a hard time finding any good reviews.

I have had great durability for the most part on my 3.zeros. After one season of aggressive riding (I tend to beat the shit out of my skis) the edges, sidewalls are totally intact, the only thing i have is a little top sheet chipping (which doesn't matter) and some small base divets from my being an idiot and skiing over pow covered rocks.

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in our skis !
We used a PET core for our 12/13 3.0, and changed it for the Balsa/Fiberlax core for 13/14, which is lighter and more durable.
Also, all our skis benefit from a 2 year warranty.

Cheers !

Same with my 3.Zeros.  They were beasts.
