my home mountain (pebblecreekskiarea) has crazy terrain and very little snow. its not very hard to find a few rocks on the mountain that will take a pretty good chunk out of your base, blow out an edge, or even snap a ski tip. ive been skiing on my 14' magic j and it has held up pretty decent. At pebble, its better to sacrifice a little bit of performance for more durability. I was curious as to what others thought was good enough to take the tittle, most durable ski, taking into factor top sheet construction, edge and base durability, etc....
 
I've been riding my on3p filthy riches hard for two seasons now. Extremely durable and just take some getting use to how they ski. Can't go wrong with anything from ON3P.
 
my 2010 AR6 have held up decently for the amount of abuse I've put them through. that being said ON3P is well known for durability, and kitten factory has some great feed back on their durability as well.

maybe a solution would be to buy cheaper, used skis so you don't have to worry about destroying a $600+ ski every season? I'm planning on keeping my old skis as beaters to use in spring skiing and bad snow.

i have a second pair of skis that i use for my jibbing/all mountain shitty day rockboards that i use for exactly as described (14 Surface Blank). i figure that if i wait for ideal conditions at my home mountain, i would only ski on my Magic J 2 or 3 times per our very limited season. None the less, i have been super careful with both my skis, but a little more reckless on my Surface skis.
 
A little company called caravan is hand building skis in Montana and I can attest that they are extremely durable.

K2 isn’t the most dupable company but when it came to that one model the Recoils they were bombproof. Not even a hacksaw could break them.

Zero edge cracks, still ride perfectly, been three season hitting rocks, trees, rails and houses.
