Been looking at a few underground companies for my next skis. 3 brands in particular. Kitten factory, skevik, and deviation. All 3 boast about durability but idk anyone who really rides any of those skis so it's hard to really know what's best. Basically looking for personal experience, thanks!
After doing some digging I couldn't find and kitten factory's for sale. Didn't know they were out of business but also never cared to look haha. I really want a pair of skevik they look so sick
Hand crafted skis built in SLC by one of the legends of NS. You didn't know Kitten Factory was out of business and Hinterland existed, this proves you're way behind on the underground market, brah.
These are some of the best skis you can own right now.

Not tryina pay a grand for 1 pair of skis. No matter how well built they are, I'm still gonna break them. Im basically just looking for the best bang for my buck in terms of durability and that usually comes from companies who are small and care about the product. But still, I gotta cap out around 500 bucks.

Holy shit 1100 bucks? I mean they look like sick skis but why?
skierman"I'm looking for the best bang for my buck which is why I'm focusing on small companies!"
You are next level dumb.
Says the guy who's hating because I didn't like your ski choice? Clearly you didn't get the meaning of the thread. Usually I ski armada, I've skied Fischers and lines and I was looking for insight/personal experience into other brands I might not have heard of that might last longer than a single season. I cant justify spending more than 500 on park skis. I got bill's meng
skierman"I'VE GOT A BUDGET WHICH IS WHY I'M LOOKING FOR SUGGESTIONS ON UNDERGROUND SKI MANUFACTURERS THAT ARE MORE EXPENSIVE"
"DID I MENTION THAT I RUIN SKIS QUICKLY? THIS IS A GREAT IDEA."
Uhh dont know why that's confusing. I do have a budget and I do ruin skis quickly, which is why im saying I would be willing to spend a little more on something that's higher quality. I was looking to see if anyone on here had any insight.

TRVP_ANGELbuying expensive skis just so you can slam them onto metal
the skis:
Lmao I feel you. The idea is that I'd theoretically be spending around 350 already for skis, so if there were any companies that make skis that cost a little more that perform better and last longer, I would like to take a look at them. Plus any company can bullshit about construction, I'm really looking for first hand experiences people have had with other companies.

my vishnus held up great to the abuse I put them through. I'm really into rock jibs and skiing east coast glades when there is only like 15 cms of snow on the ground. I don't think you can get made in USA skis for less than 500

Fatypus is on sale rn for 390$ for any of their skis. They are made in USA
Wait why are you trying to sell your
brand new Magnus 90s? They are some of the most durable skis and are a small indie brand. Maybe skierman was right.

I skied a used pair out at hood and I just didn't like the way they skied to be honest. Too much rocker and too stiff for me. And within a day they started to separate underfoot. Idk I just want something different
