Need new skis for next year. Its between prodigy 1.0s, Line honeybadgers, or Magnus 90s.

Im 6’4” and 180 lbs

I ski midwest park. I was considering the Candide 1.0s but next year theyre going to be orange and it looks fucking stupid.
Any suggestions?

Magnus 90’s are very durable but are also 600$, your edges will break off before they start to delamisnte.

Have honey badgers and I'm very happy, seem pretty durable, but only first season with these skis.

icelantic nomad 95s are woke, on3p makes a solid ski tho, factions break really easily but have a good warranty

This. I have honey badgers. First season on them, no edge cracks and I hike a lot of rails, no delamination, great park ski, the worst thing thats happened with them is a few topsheet chips.

If I was a lanky mid-west park dweeb I would hop on the Magnus 90s.

Definitely magnus 90s but I would get the magnus 102s. If your spending as much as you are on On3p’s take a look at blends not the honey badgers.

Same here, I have had the honeybadgers for 10 days now and there's not a single edge crack for the moment. I'd say the only "flaw" of this ski is that the topsheet chips a bit, but I wouldn't consider that a drawback to buying that pair of skis. Anyway, I jus love the design of these skis, and overall, it holds up well to rails

On3p and Icelantic will be more durable than any other option. The Honey Badger will, however be much lighter than the ON3ps. Don't know much about the prodigy but heard they are directional and can also ski all-mountain decent and will probably struggle less there than the other options in that category.

As a Midwestern skier I have to put on in for v. Wets , but, out of those , I'd either go Magnus or badger since so many people have good things to say in the thread . I wouldn't go prodigy just because one of my buddies got them this year and they split apart underfoot after like a week of riding on them
