What the heck Armada?!?!

Alright guys so I'm a little pissed about this. I got on my new Armada Al Dentes 2014-2015 this year and I kid you not I've been on this ski 6 times. I was just getting used to this ski and I was doing butters off knuckles and everything and when I was doing one knuckle I heard a pop and when I got to the bottom I saw the ski edge basically bent and delaminated a little. Trust me guys I'm not very happy and I hope Armada covers this because skis shouldn't just do this. I was at Whiteface NY and it was 1 degree so I wonder if that played a factor in the ski delaminating. Not sure what caused this, but hopefully Armada covers this. I ordered the skis over the summer so the year warranty isn't up yet.

Both of my edges ripped out+bent on the very top of the ski. We contacted armada and they might replace them.

Too bad you didnt get the armada ar7s. You can slam those against rails all day, 24/7 and they will not break. The problem with the ar7s is that they are heavy and not buttery.

Nobody has ever given a shit about this.

Originally, I thought the same thing.

But after re-reading the thread, you still suck

Because I had the audacity to make the argument that buttering on your skis will expedite the rate at which the ski breaks down. ok, friend!

Doing nose butters on dentes any older than 2017 will cause delam under foot, if you bought from a shop they will warranty them but if not your out of luck. Ive done this to two pairs and seen someone else do it aswell.
