if im 150cm tall and i wanna get the salomon suspects should i get 151s or 161s. i know taller skis are more stable on jumps but i also wanna get better at jibbing and im not gunna hit any jumps over 4oish feet. I might grow a few inches over the summer but i dunno. also if you guys have any reccomendations of any other good park skis more my size?

to start off i hear nightmare stroies about suspects quite a bet, i would say re consider your ski. Go for something like the domain if your looking for a light, flexable ski. the suspect is also more of a stiffer ski. As for your size, your pretty short, im guessing your going to grow. So i would say go after a ski thats anywhere from 160-167 ish but if your resort has demos then try out some longer length skis and see what you like!
