Why are liberty helixes so durable?

Been info binging on park skis lately and it sounds like the helix 98 gives the arv 96 a run for its money. Anybody have any durability issues on this ski?

I loved them but the tips delammed on my first pair on my second day. Got another pair (they’re really helpful with covering that kinda stuff) within a week of sending them a message and they lasted for half the season. That doesn’t sound good but our rails are all inch wide square stock so it destroys your edges immediately and cracks them but overall really fun feel and fairly durable. Only thing I’ve ridden that was more durable was a skinnier pair of Fatypus but gotta keep that WIDE boy up

Interesting. God i think there is really a need for a ski manufacturer to design a ski that doesnt eat shit eventually.

Sorry. I perseverate on things too much and obsessively categorize products so i can rank them from good to bad.

i dont know why i do it.

If information were cookies i would be cookie monster.

I have a pair of helix 98 and have had no issues at all for a season and a half. I usually break a pair a season so they are definitly holding up better than most.

Very impressed.

Since cookie monster is actually incapable of eating cookies I agree. He wants cookies and throws them at his face but unfortunately his mouth does not have an openting for the cookies to go in
