So, im considering trading both sets of my park skis for a pair of all mountain skis. (103 mm waist). They have dukes on them though. I weigh about 140, im about 5'9-10" tall. How would these hold up if i threw down in the park? I wouldnt be hitting jumps bigger than about 40 feet this year, lots and lots of rails. Im getting new skis in probably june so im not going to be using these as park skis next year. Just for the last 2-3 months of this season, going 4-5 times a week.
 
Im not looking at lapping the park, but i was planning on hitting it a lot. I think ill be able to handle the weight, i was more concerned on are they durable enough.
 
The duke is heavy, stack height is like 36 mm which suck for park and you don't want to thrash them in the park, get another binding
 
you will never pop out of dukes. just they are really heavy and tough to click into if theres any sort of snow on your boot
 
I guess if you have no other option but I sure as hell wouldn't. Dukes suck skiing on even in pow haha most unresponsive binding you can get IMO. sell em and get the salomon guardian at least, I've seen those being thrown around in the park.
 
Sell the dukes and remount with pivots/sth. If the dukes are in good condition you can easily get enough to afford new bindings
