I'm going to buy some skis that must be able to ride with me everyday of my season, I mean I will "only" have this skis for the season. But the problem is that I like freeride AND freestyle. Im going to do the freeride world tour junior, so they must be amazing in pow ! I often do pow skiing, and I go every weeks in parks but I can't buy skis for freeride and skis for freestyle because i've fourteen and must pay my skis myself (I work a month for it ... ! ). I was thinking about the Salomon Suspect, I can have the 2013 one half price, and i've heard that they are awesome all days skis ! I'm not sure of it, so can anybody avouch it ? Thanks and sorry for my bad english (i'm french ...) !

You want something that's "amazing in pow" but you're looking at the suspect? Not a good choice.

As said above the suspect is awfull in pow, as really is any pure park ski.

I would look at the rocker 108, or becuase your small you may be able to use the Rocker 92. The 92 is the 2012 from the last two seasons.

How much do you weigh, thats more inportant then your height.

If you want a ski which can handle pow and park, dont get a pure park ski.

Armada ARV, Salomon Shogun 100, Salomon Rocker 108

Just a few options worth considering

The rocker 2 92 would be my option, I had a pair of Twenty Twelves a few years ago, which are the same skis, and they were just a really fun all around ski. I'd recommend them.
