I skied on Blends the past two seasons and they were super fun skis, but didn't hold up well in cruddy conditions and the sidewalls are fucked. Been looking into J's and ON3Ps and want another similar, all mountain/park 100mmish ski. Suggestions on a similar but more durable ski for the east coast?
 
I have friends who had vishnu wets and they are dropping them again in a few days. I copped them on presale and they coming friday. Honestly I would get them or ON3Ps. If you go out west a few times a year then get ON3Ps, but otherwise cop vishnu wets.

Well this is my last season on the east coast before college in Colorado or Utah, but I'll prob buy pow skis for that next year
 
Do your self a favor, get some ON3P's, they are durable and last longer than most skis out. No ski will last forever, especially if you like rails. K98 is a great ski for park, and it ski very well outside the park. Don't be scared of the k108 either, I skied that ski from march till closing day at Timberline (labor day) and would recommend it over every other ski on the market; a true do it all ski, plus no bs marketing or some shitty lazer cat graphics
 
ON3P Steeple 108 or the Kartel 108 or 98. I skied my steeples all last season, and they can take a beating. Im talking sending cliffs, bombing through wind blown chop, and from time to time sliding a few wails. If you like landing switch off cliffs grab the Kartel 108 and if the park is more your thing go with the 98. The Steeples can be skied switch they just don't have a complete twin tip, so it can lead to some pretty spectacular biffs

This. I rode my pair last season and plan to ride again. Also don't buy j skis I have had friends that bought them and they got beat up extremely bad compared to mine. K2 used to make some bomb proof skis
 
I skied a pair of Black Crow Camox 97mm for close to 200 days (that's one season for me) about 50% around the mountain and 50% park. Cambers pretty shot and the top sheets peeling a little bit, but they're still skiable, but prob the most durable ski i've ever had. Do yourself a favor and check out the Crows.
