Burly edges

i came back from pres-day in tahoe, and the edges of my d-star concepts are broken in like 8 places. I need new skis and was wondering which ones have the burliest edges that can handle tons of rails. Must be 174cm or longer, and wide enough to handle the 3 foot powder days that USUALLY happen in Washington.

ummm the mothership flites have a 1.7mm edge made from rockwell 48 steel. its one of the thickest and hardest edges you can get on a jib ski.

Armada ARV, or Line (Pollards if you're going up to 186, Skogens otherwise). Those two have about the toughest edges you'll find. If you're willing to wait till next year, the 4frnt VCT looks fairly promising.

I'm going to back J.D. and throw in one more Line model, the Mike Nick pros come in 178 and aren't as stiff as the Skogen but have the same dimensions.

I do a TON of rails and my edges are still completely intact after 40 days on them this year. Earlier this year I broke edges on PE's and Fujis in less than 20 days. I'm very impressed with the Lines.

I had a bet with the Line Rep when I got mine that the edges would be destroyed in 25 days or less. I lost that one.

hey dumbfuck^ rockwell isnt a type of steel, its a rating's scale. and motherships dont have the biggest edges, the chrons and promodels do.

but anyway, besides the lines, K2 have good edges, 4frnts are pretty sick ( msp would prolly be a sick ski for ripping through that heavy northern powder) all i do is rails, and my stls aren in very good shape. i have two smal cracks, thats it, and no signs of pulling out. head mojos and volkls are all tough skis. volkls are rediculously stiff though, so if you like a med-soft flex, stay far away from them.

4 frnts DO NOT hold up, as far as my experience goes.

my scratch bc's have been the best all mountain ski period. Well over 50 days all with rails + urban and the edges did not move or crack. The crack+core shot that happened today is near the tail which means I was spinning the box or hit a rock with headphones on.
They lasted way longer than my LBF and TM, my tm edges broke from landings, not rails. I have not ridden 4frnt or line so take that into cons.

'hey dumbfuck^ rockwell isnt a type of steel, its a rating's scale. and motherships dont have the biggest edges, the chrons and promodels do. '

i said rockwell 48 steel never saying it was the brand and I'm looking at my mothership ti's in my room and they have 1.7mm rockwell 48 edges so i assumed the flites where the same edge but sorry if its a rockwell 48 1.1mm edge instead.

That's odd that you broke Fujative and PE edges in 20 days or less. I've seen some Line's get destroyed way before that, but the 04/05 models seem to be quite a step up.

I'm a pretty big kid so I tend to put edges to the test on jibs. Especially the beginning of this year, I cracked my shin so all I could do was jib, tables were out for me. After 20 days of jibbing nonstop I had cracked both of those skis, the Lines have received similar treatment and I haven't ruined them yet after over 40 now.

I heard that the moship flites have extruded bases, rather than sintered ptex 2000,2200 ect. That is technology from the 80's to save cost. K2 uses 4 different grades of sintered p-tex and salo race bases are 4000 at least. I would go with the TI to be double sure, I dont even know if it is true but extruded bases glide like wood.
Line has the strongest rockwell 48 edges on their pros, rossi(bc/fs) and armada are rockwell 44 I think? Go with rossi, armada or line.
