seriously, ive been skiing a long time, ive skied almost every thing.  I would never get ne other brand except armada. best skis hands down, plus being rider owned why whouldn't u.  If i was a youngster i probably would have a little more of an open mind, ie, 4frnts and ninthwards would be in my mind.  Besides them i dont like big company skis, and i dont trust companies like surface and liberty too new.  I know line has been around a long time, but once u buy a pair of lines and really ski them hard u'll no longer like them.
