1. searchbar. more than enough threads in gear talk.
2. no salomon has really failed with their skis this year. it saddens me. go for something like the line chronic, armada ar6, volkl wall.

Get a ski that you are sure will last long enough for you to grow into it.

that being said, if you somehow get the idea that the suspect is what you really want, get the 176. any other ski, 175 or taller...

Seriously, I'm not trying to be mean, but if you search salomon suspects here, you'll read plenty of horror stories.
