People think that there is a lot of ignorance and stuff on this site, although look what i came across on another forum board, just a couple of comments.

"Actually, I'm pretty sure armada's come out of rossi's mold. "?
"dont they both have 90 deg. sidewalls? ?The word from the rossi rep was that not only are armadas straight outa the scratch mold, they're also made in the rossi plant. Now I don't neccesarily believe eveything this guy says, but it's not too far fetched."

Armadas used to be manufactured by Rossignol tho.
Now they are manufactured by Fischer.. at least mine say "made in Austria"

of course this has nothing to do with the molds etc..

They are made in the same factory, but they are very differnt skis. Do to the changing economics of skiing there are very few facilites to make reasonable numbers of skis. So if you don't want to have them made in China you are going to have to share space with another company. Just looked what happened with PM Gear's Bro's

No they are made by Fischer because the guy who is in charge of Armada Europe told me so.

yo could u guys name some sources when u say they r made by manufacturer X?

My sources are the dude who's in charge of Armada (french speaking europe) and same story from the dude who's in charge of Armada europe (HQ is down my street here in Zürich).

I would believe u, but, dunno why these guys would lie to me.
