I've had durability problems with every ski I've had, and don't know what to try next. What do you think would be the most durable ski for quick park laps?

What kind of durability issues? delams, edge cracks, edge pullouts, something else?

what skis have you ridden previously?

What skis have you had issues with? If you've had problems with lots of skis from different manufacturers at what point do you consider the skier and not the skis?

I've had all of that, with both sidewall and cap construction skis

Nothin you can really do about edge cracks/ pullouts. General rule is sidewall skis are more durable than cap construction. As stated above on3p and vishnu are said to be pretty durable. If you want a more traditional ski with camber the liberty transfer is pretty durable as well. It also uses a similiar technique as the head framewall with a sidewall that extends a bit over the topsheet.
