I wonder how old the skis were.  It’s amazing most skis last like 200+ ski days.

2016 Carnage on Challenge, had a nice bump  line on skiers left and someone cut me off. I bailed through a deep trough and pow! 
Messed up the toe piece  too. 
 

In my early teens I broke a tail just like @saltyants picture a long time ago. Ludicrous speed backseat landing off a jump.

I feel like older skis like from the 90s weren’t as durable.  I had delamination issues with a pair of Pre 5a and the next year got Pre M6as they were a nice ski..my K2 El Camino and K2 Kreisler’s were my favorites prior to Salomon XScreams which were badass. Now I just ski the same pair of Kastles everyday for the last 3 years and the fat ones on pow days.

@GrilledSteezeSandwich This is grate and very radical. I hope @Benm gets these for next season.
