Yes the trouble maker is a new ski, wider under foot, tip& tail are the same now, edges are way better, there is an impact plate under the edges which prevents breaking.
Yea that binding at the end of the pipe was hit by a runaway ski...so that is why it is broken...only kid i know who snaps p 18's is Mr. Vanular. Also they are still making the p12 and 14 or whatever the hell they are...but those suck balls and break upon any impact.
