Will these hold up to everyday resort use or should they be primarily used for the backcountry?

These are intended for resort skiers that might occasionally head out on short(er) hikes to hit kickers and gnarly lines out in the backcountry. Think snowmobile access or that cliff across the street. Definitely strong enough to be used full time at the resort. If you're thinking about dabbling in some bc skiing this year and don't want to commit to a whole new kit, there is no better product on the market. I love BCA gear (beacon, shovel, probe, and pack in my kit), but I've never seen anyone happy on their Trekkers.

Hey Mike, I'm sure these will hold up to everyday resort use. I would assume if you are buying these you are going to spend a good amount of time skinning. If I was only going to purchase one pair of skis for the season and I was 50/50 resort/backcountry I would happily use these everyday. If I had a quiver of 2 i would have 1 AT setup and 1 resort. Hope this helps.
