My friend has them.They look like they ski awsome.He says he really likes them.I heard their just a little stiffer then lat years ar5s tho probably being because their wider.I would get them in a heartbeat.Armada is a very good company that lasts.I really beat my skis and my Ar5s are holding up awsome.

they are pretty stiff. I rode mine for the first time yesterday. They are so sick! I'm 175 lbs and the 181s are dope. Definately stiffer than my PEs, although those were 169s so maybe the bigger PEs are stiffer. Either way they felt like feathers compared to the other skis I've owned (TMs and PEs) and were super fun to ride. nice n lively. considering their "all-mountain" I would say karmas are a waste of money.

SInce im hear already, i just got the ar6 and i love it, got it in 181 there light and take me anywere i wanna go.

Just a quick question, should i have gotten my edges sharpened right out of the box? and does it matter if there were some rust spots on the edges right out of the box?

no, you don't need to sharpen them unless you like special base angle degrees and shit. and the rust is fine, it should come off in a few runs.
