How do these skis hold up when skied hard? I have heard complaints of other K2 skis falling apart, especially in the tips.

Well they definitely get marred up, but every sandwich construction ski I have used does this, so it's not uncommon. Most of it is on the inside edges and tips, especially for me after transferring from a narrower ski, and is from banging together. And they don't "fall apart", thanks to the rivets and plates, not even after clipping trees when you are slashing glades.
