no shit.. they should sell them for like 350 or 400. 700 is bullshit. the only reason they are selling them for so much is the fact that the stupid people will buy them just cuz tanner and all them are on the team

amateur rider? yeah, does anyone else think it's sorta funny that alot of shit is 'Coming Soon'?

nice graphics on the ARV, i'll take it that it's some spray paint thing and not some phallic symbol or a picture of pinnochio. but ouch...675, that's like $1000 cdn. I can't think of any ski that expensive without bindings, maybe Stoeckli?

how do i get stickers from 'em? just call 'em or e-mail?

limited quantitys = high prices. you guys are fucking retards. once they are mass produced, they will be cheaper. besides, do you have a 500$ ski that falls apart after a few days cuase the people tried to save money on materials and construction, or a $600 ski that lasts for years?

the ski basically is the scratch! they're charging way too much for the skis and the site isn't even THAT good. they should at least have the soft goods sections up even without the online purchase. im disappointed.

Well, I dont have much an opinion on the Armada thing, but those graphics are damn sweet looking.
I really think K2 is stepping shit up though, they got the Enemy, AK Enemy and Public Enemy, you dont need anything else, good prices, sick skis, K2 really impressed me this year. As for Armada, we'll seeing as I, like almost everyone else on this site, know butt fuck nothing about them except for graphics, price and team I'm going to wait before I judge them, they will most definantly be better than early Line though.

'besides, do you have a 500$ ski that falls apart after a few days cuase the people tried to save money on materials and construction, or a $600 ski that lasts for years'


Wow, that is the biggest load of shit I have ever heard. Why the hell don't you just buy some concepts, my last pair I've had for 3 years and I paid $250 for them. They didnt fall apart after 'a few days'. Armada is rape. Thats just my 2 cents.

All of you calm down, this is a debute company, they don't have the big ass finnancial backing of companys like salomon, dynastar, rossignol, k2, or any of those companies. They are still a rider owned ski company that has spent two years developing the skis before releasing them, support them cause they're supporting the movement not because they cost too much. And even if you can't afford them right now(like me) don't rip on them. Wait untill they can get them mass produced then the price will drop.

kinda makes you wonder how many people will buy them. i mean, most of the time, people demo shit before they buy it right? well how many employees do they really have? they probably wont have enough $$$ to send out a demo team. is anyone gonna go out and blindly buy skis based soley on what the company and pro team say?

Those graphics are pretty weak. I think it's cool what those guys are doing, but whoever came up with the colors is blind. I was hoping for something else as far as looks go. We'll see about the ski when it hits the hill.

They resemble the scratches based on the simple design. There's nothing to them. I don't think they look good even. And they are extremely exspensive. And in order to get them mass-produced, they need initial sales revenue, which they aren't going to get a whole lot of with prices like that their first year.

westcoast, they don't look like the scratches, THEY ARE SCRATCHES! since JRL did the work on the scratches he just used the same design and concept with armada.

ARMADA.. Well, I like the fact that they're skiers putting skis out there for skiers - great movement - but that doesn't make the skis any better than the other companies'. They have skiers testing, engineers building, etc...
I think Armadas skis are expensive - but I'm sure some people will buy them... In a couple of years Armada will be mass producing, and having designing experience to make great skis, but I'm not seeing it happen for the first ski a company throws out!!! Oh, and when Armada does start mass producing, what makes them different from all the other ski companies then??? It's not like with surfboards, where you've got the little guy fine tuning his own boards in the local surfshop, that kicks ass on the waves at that beach...

i think alot of people are missing the point of armada. I dont know how it was expected of them to make a ski far more superior than other companies. I think armadas goal is to make a company that skiers can be happy representing on the slopes and on the streets. Something that represents what our sport is about. Not a spandex clad racer slaming into gates. Whether or not you like the skis that they made this year or not I dont see how dissing them is helping out our industry. Just my 2 cents.

nicely put parker... word up
Where I live, there are five ski resorts within 10 kilometers of my house. Everybody who lives here, whether they're rich or poor, skis all the time. In the winter, skiing's a way of life. The ski resorts are open until 11 p.m. If you don't know what to do, you go skiing. When you get off from work, you go skiing. Mathieu Paquette about St-Sauveur

Very nicely put, and I am sure 90% of the people on this site would buy a pair of thier skis, if they could actually afford 600 dollar skis, but unfortunalty most of us cannot. Thats why I plan on buying a hoodie or something. Why? Because I am going to help the companies that help me.
