Replying to Real gear talk here: Armada ski construction?

Ehh...:
Okay before any of you NS's start commenting with a lot of guess work make sure you know what you are talking about before you start spouting off answers. Anyways here we go.


My question is what is Armada's construction looking like. I've read their website and seen their products and worked on them (I'm a shop tech I've mounted plenty of Armada skis) and my question is this: Does Armada use a foam core ski?

Second Question: Armada's Durability. I've personally seen first hand of some nasty beat up Armada skis. But that could honestly just be from the rider/conditions. My question is do they really hold up that long? I'm talking bases, core shape (e.g. keeping the camber in the ski or do the core's snap and lose all strength), and edges.


Personally I'm in it for the info because our shop doesn't carry them due to the owner not like them for the lack of durability. But I want to know from people who know the product and have used it.
