inb4 Salomon hate.

But seriously, if your going to be pretty hard on your skis, go with Armada, most of them are pretty tough, and alot of people have had alot of durability issues with the suspects. From what I've heard, the pipe cleaner is a great ski, maybe give people a little more information so they can help you out a little more

I've rode on Armada's for 5 years now. Most bombproof skis I've ever had. Hold up super well. Really can't go wrong with Armada.

I've never ridden a salomon ski but I do own some AR6s. Armada makes durable fun skis. I have never had a problem with them and I have been ridding them hard for about two and a half seasons now and going into the third. I love em, my friend loves his, and you'll love yours

Armada all the way they in my opinion are the best skis on the market for park and pipe without spending over 1000 for a pair of skis

Id love a pair of ar7s and pipe cleaners. just cuz the ar7s can hold up for doubles and im sure th t halls would be a bit buttery for those big jumps.. but the ar7 graphic this year is fuckin ugly as hell.. lol first year that ive hated armadas park ski graphics all of their pow graphs are sick though wish they got a better artist for the park line the t halls graphic are alright too though

The ski art doesn't matter it's what's in the skis that makes it good

Tyson is awesome, totally legit dude. I think it's rad that he answer's the phones rather than some random secretary.
