I could be wrong, but this is the first image I have been able to find of next year's AR8's. Found it on some Korean ski blog lol.

Liking them a lot...

Yeah I was looking at the same catalog and from what I've heard those AR8's, a carbon strung- Al Dente, and a carbon JJ Zero are all part of a limited release for next year.

Yea looking forward to more info on these...my 2011 AR7's are by far the best skis I've ever owned. Doesn't even make sense how they are still intact with zero edge cracks.

Old news, check the next year's gear thread for loads more info. If I remember correctly they're the exact same as the pipe cleaners, just renamed. Armada seems to know how to make a good ski that stands the test of time. The graphics for the whole black series or whatever it's called are fresh as hell too

I thought the ar7 would be replaced by the arv86?

The graphic is cool but it's not like some new groundbreaking ski. I would really like if they got added some rocker+a new shape to the AR8.

That's what the new Arv series is for.

I love that they are keeping at least one traditional camber ski in their lineup. I might be old fashioned but I am having a hard time being convinced to do the whole early rise thing.

Also, does anyone know how much these are probably going to cost if I can find a deal er that has them?
