should be,
but its totally incorrect to how ARMADA operates (today atleast)
i have their 2008 ARV's and i have had one core shot, but i deserved it, they are so solid, a little softer than i would like now, but hey they were my first pair of twin tips, i cant complain.
but because this thread is going on 3.5 years old now, im sure that alot has changed with how skis are pressed and more quality control and TQM has been imputed to create a much better ski.
