In ten years armada will be to the skiing industry what burton is to the snowboarding industry today.

Doubtful.

 It's possible, but I really don't think freeskiing will ever come close to the following that snowboarding has.

Hopefully they dont compromise the integrity of their products in doing so...like many of the burton products which are outrageously priced, but I do agree that they are the company that can turn into that iconic powerhouse

ya maybe not "outrageous" but all the stuff that my brother has bought has been fairly pricey in relation to similar products and the outerwear has been sent back for manufacturer defect several times.

if you actually knew what you were talking about before you posted something, you'd know that twin tip sales last year were higher than park boards

theres already companies like salomon, atomic, rossignol, dynastar, head, volkl, etc that cover the "burton on skiing" category.

skiing is a hell of a lot bigger than snowboarding.

huh. ive never had any problems. their AK stuff slays, way better than oakley shit for a similar price. and their cheap stuff has always been good for me. i have a ronin jacket and pants, and the only problem i have is shredding the shit out of the bottom of the pants, but that happens no matter what brand you buy

I think there will be one main company e.g. Jarden who buy out a few more of the skiing companies and dominate in that fashion. I don't think it's possible for a company like armada to do something of the scope you are talking about - they haven't ever stood for something like that.

none of those companies were started on a small scale in the US/Canada and grew so rapidly (armada is an infant compared to those brands)

hopefully Armada doesn't sell out but if they can keep their prices reasonable they will have a good shot making it in the large freeskiing market

even thats debatable. i think it depends on the board. i know a kid that gets the same board ever year. the jeremy jones promodel, and loves it.

agreed, i havent had any of my friends make negative comments on the boards. i have a pair of cartels and they are probably the best bindings i have ever used hands down
