Are Armada's weak?

A couple days ago I was riding my new ants and i was going pretty fast down a groomer and slid over a rock. i ended up getting a core shot near the edge that kinda pushed out the edge on one ski, and on the other ski i compressed the sidewall, and the base looks like it cracked right under the armada logo. I'm pretty bummed because i've hit rocks way harder on other skis, receiving less damage. I'm worried that I won't be able to ski as hard on these or they'll break.
anyone else have this problem?
 
They won't though, rocks are more dense than skis. I wouldn't worry about it man, ANTs are made for one thing - going fast and hitting rocks. Destroy them and love them for years to come, they will hold up.
 
They will be fine, you may just have a defective pair. but the ant's have a partial racebase not the druable base like the ar6 and thall. but my armadas have held up excellent.
 
this is my 4th season on my ar6s. i do tree jibs, rails, taps, land hard, etc and i have never had an edge crack, i've had some topsheet chipping that doesn't even matter, and they're still just as much fun as i remember them my first day on them!
 
I used my AR6's two and a half seasons on everything, park, rails, backyard setups. They had some edge cracking, and some base shots, nothing to the core. The bindings ended up ripping the bases out of the skis one day when i landed bad on a hand drag. But that was after two and a half seasons...
 
Hitting rocks is seriously a game of chance. I've hit rocks so unbelievably hard and not even come out with a scratch, but also looked at my bases at the end of the day and wonder, "how the hell did I get that?"
