My K2 domains lasted me 3 seasons before I started to tear an edge out and then snapped them in half haha. Durable skis for sure though, and I loved skiing on em. K2s are pretty heavy as skis go though but that doesnt matter long as you dont mind the weight.

I've ridden the filthy riches and they are some of the most playful park skis there are on the market, incredible on jumps no bigger than 50ft and even better on rails.

I found them most fun when just dicking around and jibbing the piste where i could fly off anything and butter around for days.

As far as durability goes they are near impossible to break normally, the only reason mine snapped was due to water getting into the screw holes where my local shop mounted the bindings wrong. So although they snapped they lasted 3 years with ZERO edge cracks.

You really cannot go wrong with these skis and im going continue buying them until i cannot ski anymore!

One of the guys I always ski with rides the Filthy Riches, and he butters all the time. They are pretty rockered on the ends so it seems to make it pretty easy to play around on em like that.
