I went ski shopping back at the end of November and was recommended the Salomon Threats. They were actually 08-09 models were on sale and I went for them. After a day and a half of hard downhill and several jumps the edges on both skis had ripped out. I got my 09-10 replacements 3 weeks later. After a day of riding both left edges, front tip right at the start of the upward curve, the edges delamed again and there’s a gap. They haven’t pulled apart completely but I’m thinking I was ill advised in the first place. WHAT SKI DO I WANT??? I’m 5’4 155 lbs, short but stocky so I can throw around 160’s. I was raised downhill racing but I’ve always loved the jumps and I’m just starting to learn the 360’s etc. I guess I would ski about 50/50 park and all mountain. I like the look of the suspects but don’t want another bust. Also I have Marker M11.0 TC freeride bindings
