donno. not all of last years were messed up, but a lot were (much like the TMs). they might delam, edges might go, or they could be perfectly fine. you really can't tell until you've used them a bit

the only thing bad with the ski is that the top sheet chips really easily and the metal tail piece might come off but other then the cosmetic problems the ski is great

yeah, performance wise I give them a 9. Durability is a different issue, but I love the way they ride

Yeah, they are great skis in the park and pipe. I got lucky and had very little problems. But the edges seemed to go real quick after only tens days on them. But I hiked a lot or rails with them.

Being out there skiing every day, good or bad, just playing around with friends, with no contests or filming- that is the real spirit of skiing for me. that is why i started skiing, and if i lose those moments that is what will make me stop skiing.

take em where you bought em... or go to the armada website and find a contact email and ask.
Def. have your receipt though. Cause I think the warranty is only a year from purchase date.
