I got the Sevrins around mid season last year and I have skied them longer then any other ski I had before them. at the start of the year I had alpha 1's, they broke. Then I got some ninthwards they lasted a few weeks then they broke. The sevrins are super fun, perfect for ripping crud and some pow, the all wood core is amazingly strong and looks cool and natural at the same time. I skied them for almost 3 plus months and all through the summer and they are still in my garage kicking it. For someone who likes to shread everywhere after ripping a park lap they are an awesome ski. even being 98mm underfoot I love them for park
