Suspect base problems

So picked up a pair of last years Suspects at the beginning of this season off an online dealer. I had heard of some problems with the ski before buying it but I also knew it was a great park ski, and its done good things for me so far. Unfortunately after maybe 20 uses ive already got a base blowing out near one of my tails. Basically had 2 questions:

1) I can't remember the name of the dealer, but it was one who had posted a deal on here a while back for discounts on line skis I believe it was? Got linked to their site through that and ended up picking up salomons. +K for remembering the name of this place...

2) Has anyone had any luck getting salomon to deal with the the skis and replace them? I plan on contacting them but frankly, being as its a now used pair of last years skis, I dont see it ending well.

well... salomons fall apart...

i have no idea what dealer it was (ask your parents for the receipt), but, you should call salomon regardless

suspect yes but it $100 cheaper
dumont is replaced by the Pro Pipe which I don't think has edge armour

2012's are very sick. i was on of the lucky guys to be able to demo that ski. im pretty much set on that ski for next year but long story short, ive beaten up my ar6s pretty bad already this season and had 400 bucks lying around from christmas/ birthday money. i spent it on some salomon suspects from backcountry because everyone at my mountain seems to love them excluding the durability issues. so im skiing the suspects for the rest of the season to test out the salomon durability (yes, i know i will be dissapointed) and will exchange them for teh 2012's (if the salomons hold up better than my armadas) or the alpha 1's/ halos
