You're acting like I don't have everything from Hellbents all the way to Fisher GS skis all the way into Vole Scaled Skis for Telemarking. Just don't buy shit, and you don't get to blame the equipment.
And none of them are broken after 20 days unless it's low tide or I fuck up on a cliff band. I ski a minimum of 100 days a year, and the only thing you can notice after 60 days is some slight decambering on softer skis.
I will say that boots tend to get soft around 100 days. But usually dealing with that's also a skill issue; get good balance, and you don't have to have the boot hold your sorry form in place. It's how people basically skied for a thousand years with leather boots: They were good.
