It really depends on the ski. Tbh, I have found that it’s not necessarily line skis, but rather 90% of flexy park skis tend to break like toothpicks.

There are outliers. ON3P are also p flexy and durable but you are paying for that, idk anything about Vishnu never met anyone who’s ridden them (crazy I know) but I’ve heard good things for sure.
But in my experience if ur paying a normal market price for skis ($500-$600) ur not gonna get a soft flexy playful ski that will last, no matter the manufacturer

I have a pair of vishnu keys and the quality def surprised me. top sheets a little bit fragile but even where the top sheet came up the materials under seem to be fine with moisture. The bases and edges are fucking bombproof though a whole year of smashing rails and not one edge crack. I spent like 4 hours carefully detuning them so maybe that was it but no other ski I've owned has had its edges hold up like this. only other thing to complain about is that once they brake in they are wet noodles and have none of the stability as when they were new, but thats just kind of a preference thing.

These have been such a shitshow for a while. When released they sent out direction with the wrong forward pressure adjustment right? Or was it the AFD.....either way shit was wack when you had athletes sponsored by solomon posting on insta saying how to actually do it.
Have had multiple friends have pre-release issues and forward pressure/afd creeping out of place constantly. i think almost everyone I know has gotten rid of theirs.
Sticking with my kingpins for my charger bc ski at the moment..never had an issue......would be interested in the duke pt at some point though.

The North Face bags and backpacks. They fall apart into pieces when you use them in variable weather. Super disappointing. I have bags from Aldi that are better quality.
Salomon kids skis are floppy garbage compared to Armada, K2, Nordica.
On shoes. God what useless junk.
DC shoes. At least the snow boots. Mine had holes in the heel after 2 months. Better to invest in Sorel or similar.
