As I did last year, another season starts, new picturs start to come out. Post them up. Let's push for as many pages as last year.

PS no quoting an entire line of skis, it get's insanely cluttered.

I skied the El Rays the other day.. That was a very fun ski. More side-cut then any ski from Armada. Very stable for a cap ski even at super high speeds.
I'm almost 200lbs and there was no chatter.
I could rip that ski just as good as my pipe cleaners. It is a easier ski to ski, does more turning for you than anything else in the line.
It is designed to be a PRICE POINT ski for someone that can't throw down for a AR6 or a $500 ski. It is also designed for that progressing intermediate that could use some help with turns...

The El Ray could be one of my fav skis in the Armada line. A good mix of park and all mountain. I'll still be skiing the AR6, PC's & JJs, but for a $350 ski I think it rips!!!

I'm not to fond of the graphic, but it is clean and safe for anyone. It has the battleship on it, Armada means a fleet of battleships, which they have never put on a ski before...


Have you skied them? I can see if you dont like the graphic, but to say the ski is crap or "not that great" with out skiing it is messed up.

the guns look awesome. do they have a wood core?
salomon changed up their sizes it looks like now too. the guns are 181 and so are those dumonts. thats sweet. now i can actually consider the dumonts for next year. salomon is amazing.
the spk skis look so thin tho..

allright so heres the low-down on the giro goggles. For this season they are only coming out with the few models you saw in the pictures. The concept is simple 1. have a goggle that fits seamlessly witht eh helmits and 2. get ride of the annoying lense changing process. That is what the tab is for, its a quick change system. As for if oakley is making them for giro or if oakley is pissed for ripping on the crowbar design I have no idea.

i heared somewhere there keeping it foam core cause mike douglas and the other guys who skied a wood core version of the gun said it wasnt as manoeverable(sp?) and light as the foam core. and i think the spks are wood core now too. it could be the foils tho. cant remember.
