How long do your skis last?

I wanna get a sense of how long people usually keep their gear for. Been riding the same Blends for five seasons now and amazingly they haven't snapped lol. But they've definitely seen better days.
 
Lot of variables here. Pow skis? a long time. Not many days per season, not hitting rails, not many rocks. Sold some mint 2012 AK JJs last year.

Park skis? Hah. I dont ski many rails, but ive seen even on3ps get destroyed after a season or 2.

All mountain skis? depends on the mountain. Some mountains and regions have a lot higher tendency to eat your skis up (looking at you, big sky)

Idk I've destroyed a lot of pow skis, you don't hit rocks often but I feel like it can happen in a way more catastrophic way, usually finding a hidden rock in your landing
 
Till they break or I want to try something else. Blew up some prodigy's on season #2. Just did freeride stuff. Hitting trees, rocks, Jerry's etc. Have some bent 120's that have seen 5 seasons and are starting to delam. Snapped some k2's in their first season. It's the poles and bindings that don't last.
 
If I can get 2-3 seasons out of my park skis with careful maintenance I consider that a win. My last couple pairs eventually started to delam underfoot - at that point I stuffed 'em with epoxy and they started a second life as street/beater skis.
