I'm pretty sure those are 07 skis. Even if they aren't, many ski companies use the same ski with a different topsheet for a few years, e.g. Troublemakers (previous models are the same, new in 08)
It's only available in 179 though, dunno if that fits u

no, 07s are different, the reinforced edges made a world of difference with the durability. i think what he's talking aboiut is how armada pressed the remain AR5 cores with AR6 graphics, which has nothing to do with line in the first place. buy line, they put back into this sport, and if you have any problems they'll be sure to help cause of their excellent customer service.

ok so another question (no one else to ask this to so bear with me guys haha). i love my foils and will these be kinda like them? and are chronic blends poppy/soft/light?
I ski in AK so weather can get very cold/icy so idk if that matters probably not (i dont ski alyeska)

I'm referring to his post about Line Chronic Blends.
And 172's would ffit you perfectly, I'm 5'6 and growing, 130lbs.
Problem is, at Sierra they only have the Chronic Blends in 179.

Yeah, 179's are a bit big, seeing as your quite light. Don't think you can handle them,.

that arv at sierra snowboard actually is not even the 05/06 even though it has the 05/06 graphics. i noticed the dimensions were off so i suspected they might be 04/05 printed with 05/06 graphics. i called them; they had no clue. i called armada directly, and they confirmed that it is actually the 04/05 arv with the 05/06 graphic - so quite a different ski.
