First of all not just will these skis get wrecked in powder they will also get wrecked after a day of skiing. Do on buy them there are like 10 threads already on them and their bad quality. Plus salomon has a bad reputation of taking a long time to return/refund your broken gear.

I pre-ordered ON3P Jeronimos and they will be used as my only ski.  I've never heard a bad thing about them or any of ON3P's skis really.

I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere that Salomon is redesigning the Suspects to be more durable, but I'd wait to see what others say before trusting Salomon since it is true they have had terrible durability in the past.

suspects were voted best ski this year
and they are a damn good park ski

BUT unless you can buy a new park ski every month or like pros get them free the they are not recommended. if you are looking for a park ski that will go reasonable in pow check up the armada alpha. rocketed, elf shoe tech and really dope. ar7 and t hall are also brilliant skis as well and armada is durable

No changes were made to the Suspect except for the fact that they are now made in Austria.  Also, to the guy above me, Freeskier's ski rating is extremely biased.  Sure, the Suspect is a good ski, but it really depends on what you want in the ski, and Salomon sponsors Freeskier big time, so Freeskier almost always puts Salomon in first.
