Armada

Although I give salomon alot of credit seeing as though they're the ones that came out with the first twin. But they should stick to mogul skis

Salomon. I have yet to ride Armadas though, so this is pretty one sided.

Clearly an extremely well thought out, rational comment. given there performance in the past 3 years they are leading the freeride industry.

it was my first pair of ski i got. i started freesking last year and i progress so much......i had the line 1260 and they kinda fell apart maybe because i would just fuck them up the first half of the season till i finally learned how to properl hit rails and do 270s

Park skis: Aramda
Big Mountain skis: Armada
Racing / crusier skis: Salomon
Bindings: Salomon by default
Boots: Salomon by default
Customer Service: Armada
Graphics: Armada
Price: Usually Salomon can keep costs a bit lower, namely in the binding and boots department.
Quality: Armada

Armada: 5 Salomon: 4


Armada takes it for me, especially where it matters most (at least on NS.) Big mountain and park skis, as well as quality and customer service.

However, Salomon makes some sick fucking products. Old bindings, 916's, boots, and old AK rockets...and along with K2, deserve a lot of credit for the freeride movement.

K2 had the first modern twin-tip called the Poacher. Two years before the 1080 came out in the market. Rossi also had this ski called the Vert. It came out in 97-98. It was a twin-tip but had a crazy deep super sidecut. Dynastar followed with the Twister the same time the 1080 came out, the fall of 1998.
