they are awsome skis, the tip covers look kinda gay but they do actually help to prevent major damage, and there fairly durable. Id deffinatly say you should get them, i kinda want another pair myself
what year TMs? cause that really makes a difference, 07s and now 08s being 100times more durable than anything dynastar made before. and armada do not have burly edges, they are very average, seen so many crack and rip out.
this years tm's are going to be rediculously more durable than they have been in the past, they will be sick as hell for about 80 days then start to slowly go dead, but they wont break on you and the edge problems theyve had in the past are fixed
