Which Armada ski were you thinking? It is tough to simply just compare Salomon to Armada seeing as that can be pretty generalized.

Monkey wrench time. Take a look at the on3ps. Superior quality. I myself ride line skis. You could check those out as well. Armada is supposed to be real decent company though and I hear good things about their skis. Though I have yet to ride any of them. Salomon makes decent skis but for me personally they wouldn't be my first ski choice.

I am not one to join these conversations but as one of the guys before go check out on3p or line they have some amazing skis with superior quality and especially for on3p they have good customer service. I one of these 2 companies would have something you would really like?

C'mon man, whilst most of your posts are awesome, you can't comment on a skis quality that you've never owned, even if they have a good rap.

If i were to get armada i was thinking ar7 or maybe the t-halls but i feel as if the ar7 would be able to hit the groomed better as well as any other all mountain.
a buddy of mine got volkls he said they ride really well, should i look into them??

Volkl walls? Ya, you should look into them cause there one of the best park skis out there. So bomp proof. Its a stiff ski

Ar7 would be more of an all mountain ski than the thall, but if you are looking for an allmountain armada ski, I highly reccommend the El Rey.
I ride it and its stiff, but with still a nice buttery flex to it and can hit the park and groomers equally well.
