so i called my local ski shop today, and basically the options are as follows, suspect,dumont,ar6,t-hall. but here is the catch, im a ski instructor and armada dose not do pro deals, so im looking at the suspect as my number 1 ski. how many of you have heard good things from the suspect?

i noticed while looking at the suspects on the salomon stie that there is a line called "progressive stance" just like last years dumont. is this forward from center?

I noticed that too. I ordered a pair of suspects cause I got a deal on them and was wondering the same thing... I think it's just center but if someone knows for sure that would be helpful.

but if the lords replace the foils woudnt the lords be worse? because they have the rocker on it which would make less effective edge? if anyone who has riden lords could lemme no how they ride that would be great cuase im lookin nito gettin some of them or suspects this year. i ski eastcoast at stratton about 40% park 60% all mounatin

sorry to jack thread my bad
