Don’t buy honey badgers

Just a PSA to those considering buying honey badgers, don’t. At most the last two seasons before they delam or the edge just comes right out. You’re better off putting in a few more dollars to get an overall better ski and a longer lasting ski.

aren't they supposed to be a price-point ski? 2 seasons is a pretty good lifespan for a park ski however

Bruh 2 seasons out of a honey badger?! That’s damn good. I usually go threw one ski half way threw a season sometimes one season. I just finished off my moment frankenski. I’m impressed your badgers made it 2 seasons, that’s damn good for a park ski.

I just got them cuz I heard they’re soft and decently wide so they’d be good for butters

I wouldn’t really even consider it 2 seasons, the edge popped out at the end of the season and I’ve just stopped caring

That’s still not bad for it being like a 350$ ski. I paid 600$ for my frankenski and at the end of the season had a split tail and 4 edge cracks.

yea IDK for $350 I think its a really nice option cuz they ski like a dream while they last and if youre just starting out you dont really put that much wear and tear on them

I’ve never ridden honey badgers but some kid at my mountain snapped the whole back of of his pair off, they definitely don’t seem like they can be ridden hard

You can still ride those if you need too. Seen kids with way worse pairs still out riding them the way they did on day one.
