Vish-shoeThe LORD saw that Tom Wallisch Pros and Jibskin Pants were widespread among humanity, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually.
[6:6] And the LORD was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.
[6:7] So the LORD said, "I will blot out from the earth the human beings I have created
[6:8] But Emmett found favor in the sight of the LORD.
[6:9] These are the descendants of Emmett. Emmett was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Emmett walked with God.
[6:10] And Emmett had two sons, Cal and Dylan.
[6:11] Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with dullness.
[6:12] And God saw that the earth was corrupt; for all instagram skiers had corrupted their ways upon the youth.
[6:13] And God said to Emmett, "I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with lifelessness because of them; now I am going to destroy them along with the earth.
[6:14] Make yourself a ski of bamboo wood; with durable edges, and a photorealistic top sheet.
[6:15] This is how you are to make it: the length of the ski 189 centimeters, its width 88 millimeters, and call it the wet.
[6:17] For my part, I am going to bring a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die.
[6:18] But I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall take to the streets with your sons, and stack some clips.
[6:19] And of every living thing, of all flesh, shall be cleansed of all corruption.
[6:22] Emmett did this; he did all that God commanded him.
ScootSkiLyfeON3Ps honestly have been incredibly durable for me. I have a pair of magnus 90s that I ride nearly every day in the rope park that are 6 years old. Been drilled 4 times.
Lots of missing edge but they're still going.
Rather than focusing on which skis are the most durable , I would say go for a pair of skis where you know they have great customer service. Or a ski company whom has your favorite riders on their team or supports skiing in other ways you appreciate.
As far as ON3P I believe they hit all of those aspects for me and that is why I am skiing them.
bogustI thought Vishnu's were pretty durable and my previous pair held up well but I got a pair of 189 wets this year and I just lost 3 inches of edge and large chunk of my base. They have around 60 days on them and there still going fine just with some JBweld where part of the edge and base should be.
Jacob.millzI really thought they were displayed as a durable street ski
VISHNUI am taking off my Uncle Vishnu hat to write this:
All skis eventually break when you hit rails regularly, it's just the way it goes. Demanding that a ski be in perfect (or even good) condition after slamming it onto metal 50+ times a day for two seasons is totally unrealistic and this widespread notion needs to stop for the sake of my own sanity. I would say the first thing you should do is lower your expectations and understand that the way we are all skiing boils down to breaking your skis on purpose.
Sound stupid? That's because it is. But it's very very fun, so we keep doing it. Of course, there are certain pairs of skis that make it through two seasons of rail skiing with minimal damage. I am here to tell you, after many years of experience, that those skis are an exception, and not a rule. Should your skis snap and explode on the first day? No. But also don't be shocked if your edges crack eventually because again, you are SLAMMING them into METAL repeatedly.
I understand it can be frustrating when skis you spent a lot of money on break, lord knows I broke and damaged my fair share of skis pre-Vishnu and had a very hurt butt about it at the time. I am here to tell you that this is simply the nature of the sport we engage in. My understanding of this frustration is why I do my best to keep the price point for Vishnu as low as possible without putting myself out of business. If you knew the personal lifestyle choices I have had to make in the past couple years to keep price points low, you would not believe me. But that is neither here nor there.
The best thing you can do is learn to take care of your skis to prevent damage. This includes, but is not limited to, detuning your edges, storing your skis at room temperature after use, and learning to pop and glide onto rails more gently and fluidly.
I hope this helps, and I hope you get yourself some fun skis that last you as long as possible.

Jacob.millzI need opinions on durable ski. I want them to last 2 seasons
