Icelantic Da'Nollie

So for the past three years i have been riding line skis. They are super fun, light, and poppy, but i have broken two of my three pairs. So I've been looking for something more durable but still pretty poppy and light. I pretty much ride all park and a little urban when there is enough snow. I am 6 feet and weigh about 165 lbs. I narrowed everything down and the 2014 da'nollie in the 180 length looked pretty solid. I also was looking at on3p filthy riches and j skis whipets. I ski on the east coast. So is the icelantic danollie a good choice, and is it durable?

on3p have the thickest bases and edges available and they're handmade in the US making them very durable.

I currently ride the 2015 da'nollie so they are a bit wider and have more rocker but but they are light as hell and super durable. I really love them and they are playful in any condition

Do you think they would be a good east coast ski. I was thinking the skinnier one would be better for east coast but i might be wrong.

Icelantics come with a 2 year warranty that allow you to replace them no matter what. You can tell them the busted out on an urban rail and they'll replace them for free.

Also the shop I work at is selling them for 500 I believe.

icelantic is dope, i have a pair of the original da'nollies and besides a busted heel piece they're still kicking. a few edge cracks under the foot (no edge missing), and a flat camber aint bad for 4 seasons of park use. also check out fatypus they're made in the same factory as icelantic and come with a similar warranty. i have a pair of the dlirium's and they're crazy fun.

I work at SkiHut in Duluth, MN. As for dealers on the east coast, there's quite a few.

No ski company I know of has a warranty policy that covers urban. Straight from icelantics warranty page:

Alteration of Icelantic skis will void warranty.
ex. Damage from improper mounting or adjustment of bindings, scratching and/or chipping of topsheet, base/edge damage from improper use etc...
YOU MUST REGISTER YOUR SKIS FOR THE WARRANTY TO BE VALID.
