completely agree with mammothpunks in response to that one post about 'selling out', Its still gonna be the same ski. The owners don't have to be making skis by themselves in a garage to be 'rider owned' and oriented

man, armada sold out... They were better when Tanner himself went out and chopped down the wood to make the skis.

uh, Line uses woodcores. And Elans are made in Slovenia, where 35% of the population skis. Trust me when I say they know what they are doing. Really these days, there is no such thing as a bad ski, unless its one of the VERY few that have a manufacturers defect. If you cant make a ski at least work somewhat, its not the ski that sucks, YOU suck.

wow, some of you guys are so dumb, ski companys contract out to elan for them to make their skis in their factories, elan has the biggest producion of skis in the world, but the majority of the skis made in their factorys aren't theirs, ive heard even rossi uses elan to make thier skis sometimes, an armada ski made in quebec won't be any different than one made in slovakia by elan

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Armada was made in a shop that just opened its door in Granby Québec. I barely applied for a job there but since I was already working for another ski company well the rest is history.

well maybe someone can help them with the graphic on the arv so it actually looks like a dot of spraypaint instead of the extra low resolution blob that currently appears on them

i have respect for aramada.. but i dunno... sometimes these ski companies that only make crazy like jib and freeride skiis.... are forgeting what skiing really is????? Line's making carve skiis... How is skiing really progressing if most of the little snot nosed friggen 10 and 12 year olds can throw down but not really even fuckin turn?

yeah like there's a shortage of carving skis shagboy
and if you can;t make turns with a pair of armadas (or any ski just cuz it's park specific) then you're the one that needs to work on 'real skiing'

Im suprised at how manny people are bitching on how mutch elan sucks, and how they can't belive that armadas going to have their skis manufactured in thier factory, when most of the complainers don't even ski on armadas!
