I'd say 10+ years. I got my setup 8 years ago now and It's in great shape. It rides just like it does when it was brand new, maybe even slightly better. I have pretty much best case scenario tho as it's had pretty light use and a portion of the ramp is folded up outside when not in use.

Curious to hear is everyone else is satisficed with it's durability

Big sky puts it on part of their lift setups and it seems to last really well even with millions of guests skiing over it every day for the whole winter. I know they don't replace it through the season, not sure about the off season.

Want to add that it's also usually filled with snow and that probably makes a big difference but you can definitely tell you're still skiing over m snow

note on that: The "commercial" msnow is different than the "backyard" msnow. But both seem highly durable to me

That's valid. My backyard m snow is still good after 7 years but it also probably has a total of 20 hours of use by two people over those 7 years.
