Hey guys,

I am currently riding on some 14'-15' K2 Shreditor 92's with about ~20 days on them. I like the skis but I have noticed they have lost quite a bit of pop. I ski very aggressively and I think they have taken a beating. I am looking for some advice for a more durable ski. I ski all-mountain and looking for a ski that will keep it's pop longer as I love hitting trail jumps. Please provide any ski recommendations you have. Thank you!

Obligatory if you can afford it look at on3p post. Skis are extremely durable. You could probably run your skis over with a truck and they'd still be good and poppy...

Funny you say that a kid at my school had his in the back of his friends pickup when they were driving up to vt. They flipped the truck and totaled it and the skis slid across the highway and were totally fine haha

The Kartel 108 good for a mostly east coast skier? I'm trying to figure out what the difference is between having a 92 underfoot versus a 108.

If you ski off piste a lot then 108 would probably be good. Otherwise, if you do more groomers, there's also a Kartel 98. And other brands...

hands down most durable skis of all time-HG skis. unfortunately they are a little pricey but if you wait till a sale you can get em for like $375. The value tho is there, much rather have one pair of skis last an entire season than go through 3
