Salomon Suspect Ski - 2010 BCS

Well if you buy them from backcountry and you break your skis and send them back they give you your money back in store credit..they have a pretty kick-ass return policy here

domains kill it... such a fun ski with the rocker

Hey Jack,

Do they break easily? Depends on what you do.

All skis are taking a bigger beating than we put on them 20 years ago. We're jumping higher and taking these things to rails. 100% of the time, a ski will eventually fail against rails. The rail will never fail, not one time ever.

So, to answer you question. As we've gotten harder on skis, all companies have been trying to make their skis stronger. I think the products all of these companies are producing today are way better than that of the past. It more comes down to realistic expectations, are any skis going to last for the type of skiing you'll do.

Thanks Jack,
Nick

all very good durable park skis

please reply

I'm 150lbs and I'm an average skiier

The pros that use this ski go with the Salomon STH 16. This would be the best choice, but if they are too much for your weight/ability, then you can always go down to the STH 12 or 14.

it depends on your weight and skiing level/style. Please give a little more info and we can help you out:)

nope tradtional camber

not rockered.

The Dumonts rip like no ones biz! Go with those or the Lord in a 176.

I'm with you Jeffrey!!

I had a pair of 2010 Suspects for the entire season and surprisingly compared every other pair of my mates skis the Suspects' base was by far the strongest and the edges held up for 80+ days on the hill and they were tuned regularly. I was a bit worried buying this ski because of what I heard on the net about the edges ripping out etc but I had no problem with mine except for the fragile glossy top sheet. After a few scratches though you'll get over it.

The Salomon Suspects are the dopest ski I've ever had by a mile.

Hope my input helps.

O really cause ive gone through four pairs of this ski in a year and i know another person who did as well. O they did not fix the edges either. its still my favorite ski but it doesnt hold up

To the answer below me. Salomon does have a great warrantee, but not for anything edge related. The edge armor actually caused my broken edges to pull the base away from the core after about 30 days of skiing. I did love these skis before this incident, and hopefully salomon has fixed the issue, but suspects ended up being a $400 urban ski because of this problem.

Hey Jeffrey,

To answer your question fairly...

Can the edges rip out, yes. Do they happen often, no. As skiing has evolved, we're starting to hammer our gear way more than in the past. With that being said, it has become harder to create a ski that can withstand impact with rails. With that being said, expectations of products still remain high without the realistic understanding of what is truly happening.

Salomon still makes a rad product and a solid warranty, with, in general, an edge ripping out should be covered under warranty.

Hope this helps dood
