I ride j skis all play pretty aggressively All over the mountain (skis were brand new this year). Any tips on keeping them in the best condition possible?

Full tilts are easier on your your bindings, thus causing less damage to the ski core

Wax all the time.
Wipe skis down with cloth after use.
Make sure your boots aren't moving in your bindings.
If you get a core shot get it repaired to prevent water from getting in the ski,

This.

Also inspect your edges, remove any burrs, keep them tuned/detuned, repair edge cracks immediately.

regularly swap which feet your skis are on to even edge wear.
use a stanley blade to take off chipped topsheet that sticks up (more likely to catch your edge on it again otherwise)

Don't ride them aggressively and you should be fine
