Replying to Can we talk about Armada's quality decrease?

Historically, I've loved Armada's, but it seems like within the last 3 or 4 years they've began to go downhill (no pun intended) with the quality of their skis. I love the riders and the designs of the skis.... But they just break. I rode Halo 2's and blew them up in less than half a season, 3rd time out on my Al Dente's the sidewall pulled away from the base almost completely and the core split. Also I've had friends ride AR7's and T-Halls with similar results. I know the Al Dente is a soft ski thats obviously going to be less durable, but 3rd time out to have a complete failure of the integrity of the ski??? On a $600 premium park ski??
