pretty sure it's basically a product that targets ski racers who need a reason to get armada skis. I doubt they will be around for long but who knows. As the other kid said, not park skis, but if you need a ski for just groomers or something get them i guess? I don't really see the need for this ski, or why armada is making it. Not hating on it im sure it's a fun ski, just not sure where Armadas going with this

The reason the triumph is in the line is that armada are smart enough to know that if they want to truley be one of the top brands they need to start selling skis to people other then park skiers. Twin tip sales still only account for about one tenth of total ski sales, so brands which only make park skis miss 90% of customers. Armada will always be a core freestyle brand but if they can get park riders family on the skis too they will make allot more money and the quality of all the products will rise.
