I have to disagree, the Wall is one of the most durable skis I've ever skied. I beat the crap out of them (I ski on the east coast, looks of rails and ice) and had ZERO edge damage and nothing but very minor base damage. I mean, eventually they'll go, but every ski that's abused on rails and ice will too. They are pretty stiff, but still fun to ski, and the completely symmetrical  design makes it fun center mounted anywhere you go on the mountain. In my opinion this is one the best park skis out their right now (the only downside to the 2010 is the graphic - it's probably one of the worst graphics of the year). I'd say go for it, I had a blast on mine all year last year.
