Durable ski suggestion

[Cbwilks]

I’m looking to get new skis... again. Being a poor college kid I’m looking for durability and longevity (if that’s a thing anymore), while still being playful. Need suggestions please help

Park/all mountain ski

Budget in mind? Skis only or skis+bindings?

Where do you ski?

How big are you?

Faty-pus does big sales usually and sells skis for $390 and their skis are the shit

ON3P

VISHNU

ICELANTIC

a few brands that come to the top of my mind when talking about durability. Although the price is high, you get what you pay for.

Down skis

Basically of the same school of thought and ended up going with icelantic nomads. 3 year warranty is tight and thangs feel bombproof as advertised. Probably stiffer than the ON3Ps or VISHNUs (never skied either) but i really dig them

This. Can't speak to Vishnu as I haven't used them but I've had very good luck with the other 3. I'd look for used pairs or end-of-season sales on the PB&J, Jeffrey / Kartels, or Nomad 95 / 105, depending on where you ski, how you ski, what skis you've liked, etc.
