^Whoa, let's be reasonable for a second here. No ski company makes a perfect ski 100% of the time. Armada makes what seems to be a quality product. I've demoed them, and I can't say anything bad. Durability wise, I can't be sure, but I haven't seen many destroyed pairs of Armadas, and you know they get put through hell, being a park ski sold mostly to kids who abuse their gear. Line skis might ski well, but have a reputation of being noodly and delaminating all the time. I saw more Line skis come back to the shop I worked at in 1 season than I saw anything else come back in 3. Now, granted, this was early in Line's production of skis, so things have improved.
Bottom line: It's hard to buy a truly horrible ski these days. Demo as much as possible. You will find a ski you like, and then you'll be all good. If you can't demo, then you better learn to distinguish online fact from online fiction. Good luck with the ski search.
