Just so you know it's impossible to not get an age crack. There are ways to prolong the life of them like detuning the edges.

A year is a long time without edge cracks. If you hit rails you will get cracks, you just have to accept it.

Not bad, I went for 4 months and got 6 edge cracks. All skis do that, the more you hit rails the faster you get them. If you properly detune your edges underfoot it can prolong the life and the time it takes to get edge cracks. When you get edge cracks they are still ski-able.
