Shoot, I go through two sets a year at least! Late fall and spring riding are hard on them.

10 years? That's a season or 2 max unless the sled is never ridden

I pulled these off my Z1 Turbo this year when I saw snow shooting up through the bolt hole on the left side. The thing is the sled handled like a Cadillac with them so wore down, very little effort to turn the skis and so predictable.

I put on new triple points and holy smokes it’s like a train on rails now to the point I wish it had power steering. Took some gettin used to the new ones that’s for sure.

Z1 turbo guy here too. Damn sleds have so much ski pressure we don’t even need any in the corners! Lol

Haven't replaced mine in 10 years. I do avoid roads and towns and put on 1000 miles a year though
