I just got some new 2024 Armada ARV 88s and they appear to be damaged. Is it normal? And where/how could I get it fixed?

Where did you get them? Usually you would return them to the shop where you bought them and get a replacement pair or refund.

Take more pictures, call them, get them to send you a replacement pair and pay for shipping of this pair back to them.

I was thinking of getting them repaired instead as I have a ski trip soon and the shipping is pretty expensive

Shipping should be free? If you play your cards right you may get some expedited/express shipping?

Youre not really in repair territory

Really hard to see what that is.. epoxy? Idk. Warranty them through evo. As in like TODAY. Start the process.

I think that's resin/fiberglass etc, looks like a sidewall/core shift happened and no one caught it along the way

I bought it as a package with skis and the bindings. I mounted the bindings and noticed the issue afterwards. Could I still warranty? According to the armada website if they have less that 2 binding mounting holes you can return them.

I think you’re right. Almost looks like the sidewall sits further in the ski than it should. But hard to tell from the photo.
