Just a quick question about ski's

Gear talk.

I have a pair of 2011 Candide Yards. They held up pretty well even though I've beat the hell out of them 25ish days that I've skied them. I rounded the edges before I started skiing rails and have no edge cracks at all. A lot of top sheet chipping is to be expected with the nature of the ski having sharp angles rather than rounded angles in the sidewall.

I recently had a pull out that delaminated the ski underfoot, but that was more than likely due to the dude at sportsauthority who mounted them. The bases are durable.

That's with my particular ski though. I think a lot of the newer coreupts share similar specs though.
 
I meant to say I have 2010s. I'm 5'7" and ride them. They're a nice ski with a lot of pop. They are fairly stiff though, so they're good for jumps, but not very playful on butters and such.
 
where is your info coming from? Sure... they were made in China, but have you ever owned a pair? I still have my '10 coreupt pipe skis in my garage. (CASPERS) and other then top sheet damage they are in perfect shape.
 
Yes, I own a pair. I bought Coreupt Bangers from last year this season and they are a fun ski but the durability sucks. I don't go hard in the park, but it looks pretty trashed already. On another note: I didn't detune them and don't have any edge cracks I think
 
topsheet chips and cosmetic stuff are the least of worries, IMO. As long as the edges and bases are holding up and the layers aren't separating, you're golden.
 
Layers start to seperate at the tip. They are slow and does it count as topsheet chipping when the wood is showing?

No hate on Coreupt, I love the Bangers and they will last another season for sure!
