alright so im from the island which has well basically one ski shop, and they dont carry Armada, i want to get my self a pair of 178 Jp Juliens and was wondering what the best couple of shops in Vancouver/whistler would be to give a call, looking to pick up some salomon bindins to go along so it would be of assisstance if they carried salomon too, thanks

ski tek hut sucks ass, they've told me for the last 4 years that they are looking into getting new companies such as armada but have done nothing about it.

yea ski tak hut doesnt really have a big enough market to introduce smaller, more technically specific compnaies, thats the reason they didnt do so well with Line, Mom and Pop and their three little kids could care less about Line or Armada. They were very helpfull in ordering me a pair of SPKs that is if they do come in.
So back on Topic, i was thinking Comor in van and maybe that little Freeriderz shop beside the cuban store in Whis? any one who has purchased Armada before in this region please let me know what you think, thank you

Comor, GS, TMC Freeriderz, many other shops in Whistler, and a couple more in Van will do either Line or Armada.

comor is where i bought my armadas.
oh, and don't get salomon bindings. i haven't trusted them since i had my S810s randomly completely destroy me. actually, i met someone today in on my floor in rez who had his leg broken because of S810s. moral of the story: get look p12 bindings instead.

ill have to do more research into the binding of choice but ive been told that becasue of the rather soft core in Jp's a wider bolt pattern is better, hense the salomon preference, but i will research that more

Snowcovers has pretty much a full lineup of Armada. JPs, AR6s, ARVs, AR3s

A ski shop needs to open in Victoria, it's too big of city to not have one. Unfortunately, Ski Tak Hut is one of your best choices on the Island.
And Comor's Number is 604-899-2111

Yeah, pretty much what Simon said. More or less everyski shop in Whistler has 'em. Then comor, snowcovers and what not have them in Van. Depends how far you want to drive.
