I want to know because I might buy a new pair of skis and have never tried Armadas.

if i were you i'd buy public enemies. their cheaper than armada's and are wicked wicked sick.

Not many people have. They are extremely stiff and durable. Lot of pop.

I've got the ARV and they're the sickest ski I've ever ridden. The top sheet chips a bit, but it doesn't effect the ski itself, so I'd recommend them to anyone. If you can get your hands on a pair, try them out.

If anyone is looking to getting into a pair of armada ski's your doing the right thing. I would have to say they are the one ofsickest ski's on the market right now. They have a steep price tag but your $ bills are worth it. If your break ski's get into a pair of these and try.

great skis, but not all of us have 600 bucks to spare, if you dont either, buy some troublemakers and p12 jib bindings for 600 together basically

Yea dude Armadas are sick, I tested a pair and they arent that expensive, if any of you that want a pair live around Seattle, WA. We are selling them for $475 as a special pre order, you gotta come by our shop by the 15th to get them though.

I wouldn't mind trying out some armada's but I'm afraid since I always ride Lines I will find them way too stiff, is this likely? Furthermore I'm having a hard enough time deciding between PE's and Troublemakers without throwing a third ski into hte mix.

are troublemakers anywhere near as fat as the PE's because I still want to be able to rip powder with them.

bah i hate these threads cuz it makes me think. i dont have a clue what to get. i really want a light wide ski with lots of pop that can still tear down the hill. i dont know wether to get armadas or tm's. damn. and they wont have the 180 tm's out till next year cause im 5'10 and dont want to ski anythig under 180.

i think they might be a bit to 'bigmountainish' for around here though. and i dont know how light they are but other k2's are heavy ass.
