PC has always been slightley and 1mm narrower  - stiffer underfoot.

from the desc on http://snowbiz.com.au/snowboarding_skiing/snow-skiing/snow-ski-snow-skis-snow-skiing/new-armada-skis-2010.html      What Armada have done is stiffen the middle part of the ski for better edge hold on Piste and add a World Cup Race base to so the ski glide across the snow faster. This would be an amazing ski for all mountain use and someone who wants to ski off Piste aswell. (No more stopping on the Cat tracks)

armadas graphics are pretty lame next year. the pc's look like old ass ar5s, and the arg's, ants, and arv dont look that good. the t-halls arent bad, and the alpha 1's are a slight improvement over this years, but w.e its about performance, not graphics

The ski I'm looking forward to is the Alpha 2, the ones that Jacob Wester has been riding this season. They have similar graphics to the Alpha 1 (2010), only brighter colors if I remember correctly. Can't see them in any of these links though..
