Im looking for some new skis and i want something softer for the park but still somewhat stable for bigger jumps. I have heard that surface durability is really bad but all the comments are from multiple years ago. If these are not a good option some recommendations would be good.
 
They’re definitely not the world’s most durable ski but have made major improvements over the years. I think it’s a good option.

Depends on how hard youre skiing them. Any ski will get wear and tear with a beating. I'd put it in the same realm as the durability of a bent chetler? not sure, don't quote me

Bentchetlers are insanely durable. Have absolutely munched on rocks, trees and all kind of shit with no core shots yet. Topsheet has minimal chipping. Before I had them mine were skied by a 230lb ex x-games ski cross racer and total freestyle machine. 3 years in the park, backcountry and yeeting huge hits inbounds. I ski similarly and have had no issues.

That's so weird--I've literally seen my brothers friend snap one in the park, and another one partially delam--but other than that yeah I'd probably agree?

Get better at skiing. If you are good you can bend and manipulate any ski to your liking.

I don’t know about the base or sidewalls, but I do know that surface top sheets are pretty durable. Brother has had a pair of royals for 2 years and the top sheet has no chips and the noses and tails have held up really well

the 100s? I’ve heard that they fall apart when you start throwing them on rails.
