So i got a chance to buy these pretty cheap 25% retail, does anyone know anything about these skis? I am 160 and 6'1" if it helps and i like park and back country.

I would go for the s2. its the same shape but it comes in a 178 and i think it has sidewalls vs capped on the s. i think the core is different too. anyone want to confirm this?

Get the S4's for park and the S5's or the S6's for everything else.
 
Dont settle for the garbage at the bottom end. (although, the S3 isnt horrible..)
