Thread title states my whole question. How durable are the Atomic Punx? Anybody that has had these skis break on them? I want to hear both the positive and negative about these skis. But I'm mostly concerned about durability. Will they last?

They are great skis. We have not had any back into the shop for warrenty over the last few years. Only issue I have seen is a binding pull out but that was with an fks so more binding and mount then ski.

I love my Domains and all but I want a ski that's a little bit better on jumps. And the Punx are a little smaller underfoot and in the tip and tail which will be nice most of the time.

The biggest factor is the camber. I really did not like the domain. having no camber just made them skid more then carve and again the lack of camber just kills any pop the core may have.

You our will for sure have much more fun on the punx

My friend has a pair and they are fucking bombproof. I've ridden them and I think they're a little stiff but that's just my opinion

Awesome good to hear man! But stiff?? I've heard they're very playful!

I guess everyone has different things that they look for in a ski :) I like super buttery (obviously since I have Domains) so that's good to hear, thanks!

The old Punx were a playful ski, but Atomic stiffened them up for the 13/14 model due to the arrival of the Infamous. I would hesitate to call them a stiff ski now though, the tips and tails are definitively softer.
