In need of a good, durable ski.

long and short of it is, i break everything i own. my disorderly's lasted half a season, i got some p3's at the beginning of winter break (a week before xmas), and they just broke, so im thinking about what skis i should get next. i want something park oriented (all i ski really), 180+, and middle stiffness (not too stiff, not too soft), but most of all, i want it to be durable. im thinking about atomic punx cause iheard from a couple friends that theyre sick, maybe armada ar6's or thalls cause theyre supposed to be really durable, or possibly vokl walls or something. any suggestions ns?

 
Apparently P3's are not durable at all - Dugger broke his after 5 days...
Go with the Walls in 185 or AR6s in 181 - The THalls will be softer than what you want. Both the Walls and the AR6s super durable (You've seen both of mine - both of which were in excellent condition when I stopped skiing them), The AR6s have a softer feel than the Walls, but both will stomp landings hard. If I had to pick between the two I'd go with the AR6s cause it was one of my favorite skis of all time, but I know you like to have a ski preferably longer than 181 so the Walls might be better at 185. I'd look around and basically look for what's cheaper and go with those honestly, cause you really can't go wrong with either.
 
My friends P3's had some serious delam in one one tip until he JB welded them. They were brand new this season
 
Yeah, but only lasting a few weeks is ridiculous. Like I said, one my friends P3s only lasted 5 days and the edge pulled out - without even cracking. Andrew's skis lasted less than a month as well. I agree that parks skis get beat up pretty quick, but they should last at least half a season (especially half an east coast season).
 
yeah, if i can find a pair of ar6's for relatively cheap, id hop on those, but im pretty broke as of now.

oh, and this is what happened to my ski after like 20-25 days of riding.

disorderlys. Thats what I have and their holding up great so far, no major dings or anything. Plus k2 is a great warranty company so if you break it under warranty, then they send you a brand new pair
 
181 ON3P Blue Steele. symmetrical, medium stiffness, small company with the best materials out there so you can trust in them that the skis they produce are bomb proof.
 
had them and broke them. edges dented in and the base bubbled out around it and the topsheets were chipped to the wood all over the place. and i didnt like the way they skiied either, really floppy and dead.
