The the fuck away from line. Poachers are so much better quality. And if you need further convincing, ferdi rides poachers… that should do it for you

gotta go poachers, possibly the most durable park ski out there today, and it rides all mountain extremely well too.

Poachers are easily one of the best skis out, highly recommend. Super durable, decent width, great stability, not too heavy, decent price, usually great availability and I often see them on sale. They are a bit on the stiffer side, but they're still soft enough to flex, especially after you break them in. They work great as a dedicated park ski but they handle pow pretty decently if you do end up venturing outside the park.

However, I don't know much about the poacher's construction, or ski construction in general, but from my experience I've gotten the impression that k2 might be cheaping out on some of their materials.

I have a friend who's ridden poachers for a long long time now. Up to the lightning bolt topsheet they have been pretty much bombproof from what I can tell

Poachers. Like everyone’s saying they’re very durable, and the only issue you will run into in my experience is base delam at tips and tails, which is fixable with just some epoxy. They’re wicked good skis all around unless you want somethin super flexible, which they definitely aren’t.
