Yep the 2012 is an awesome ski. It kills it in the park but still will rip the groomers and the construction held up way better than Salomon in the past.
awesome, they have a nice ammount of rocker to just cut right through, i used these skis in knee deep and they preformed very well. they are a great all mountain ski, i couldnt be more stoked riding them
Its a great all round ski. The twin rocker are fairly stiff but it feels and butters like a soft ski, thanks to the rocker, underfoot the camber is stiff so you can still crank those turns on the hard pack. I personly prefer the way it carves to full camber skis like the suspect. In soft snow and powder the ski comes to life, Its basically a narrow rocker 2 so its amazing in soft stuff. The 91mm underfoot is fine for all but the deepest day. You do need to ride it long as the effective edge is fairly short thanks to the rocker. I had the 179 last year and they got a little schetchy at speed. I got some of the 186's at the end of the season and they were so much better. They were only about 2cm longer then my 181 thalls so dont worry about going up in size, but if you want to use them mainly in the park you can go shorter just be aware that they will feel less stable out of the park.
Constuction wise I have no complaints, they had the normall edge cracks and top sheet scuffing, but nothing I would not expect.
Overall there an awsome all mountain ski, but if you ride just park then get the suspect for the increased pop and narrower under foot size. But if you want an all mountain ski there one of the best.
