Well, I got them a couple of weeks ago, and skied them a bit. Here is my review:
PROS:
-Super strong base/edges/sidewalls. I have taken some big hits on these, and they are holding up nicely.
-They are nice and long 191 cm. That is perfect for me.
-Nice width under foot...these things seriously float through powder. Almost no effort is needed to get them to float.
-Tail is stiff, but flexy enough to butter
-Graphics are really cool if you look at them up close
CONS:
-WAY too soft for me. I would go so far to say that they are hella soft. I was expecting them to be way stiffer, being that they are Armada's only 'big mountain' ski.
-Top sheet is chipping a bit... but I suppose most skis with this construction will do the same
-Not as light as I was led to believe.
-Tips and tails could be a bit wider.
In conclusion, these are less of a big mountain ski (due to lack of stiffness), and more of an 'all mountain' ski for me. I bet I can butter these nasty style. Overall they are cool, but need to be way stiffer.
Dance, magic dance!
