The suspect/dumont seems like a very legit ski and should hold fine. The new construction of Salomons wood core skis are very good!

I've heard so many amazing things about the Suspects, so I figured these skis would be the shit right? Well I was sadly, extremly unhappy with what I saw when I went to go check them out today. BUT mind you, that is my opinion. I'm not hating on these skis, if so many pros are using them they're obviously great skis. Ya dig?

when i was at windells this summer i went into the demo shop just to check out some of this years skis and there were like 3 pairs of suspects.....they were all pretty trashed.  I dont think the skis were used that much as they had come out only a couple months before.  If you really want a durable ski i wouldnt go for the suspect...check out some amplids, from what ive seen and heard they are tanks
