Lose of Camber??

I've tried search for information on this topic, but I don't know what to put as the key words so I got a lot of threads about rockered skis.

That being said, I was getting my gear ready for tomorrow and when I was holding my 07 175 Armada ARVs together I noticed that the noses had begun to rocker naturally or lose comber. Only the noses, at the moment it's not very significant difference but it's definitely there. I'd say about a 5-6mm spread at the very tip. I know that the ARVs are a very soft ski and they have around 50 days on them from last season. Lots of buttering etc...\

Is this supposed to be happening/ is there anything wrong with my skis. When I was up on Tuesday I did notice that when riding switch on groomers the noses chattered a lot, I could clearly hear them chattering.

Input?

Heres some pics of it as well:

It'll happen to most skis after a while but quicker on softer ones or lighter cores. That seems pretty quick though, unless you're heavy and charge/stomp hard on those.
 
Yeah, all skis lose camber. That seems pretty quick for a sidewall ski, but if you're buttering a lot then that might be why. Normally cap skis lose camber quicker
 
Hmmm, thats a pretty noticeable difference. I wonder if Armada would do anything for you if you called them up. Probably not but maybe they have some info.
 
I realize that this does happen after time but I was a little shocked that it had happend to my ARVs after only one season. I'm not a big guy at all, for most of last season a weighed around 140-150. I sent a e-mail to Armada but no relpy yet.

Is there anything I can do about this? I plan on still useing these but a lot less on groomers and crud I guess.
 
i think it maybe something to do with the arv's as well...because last year down in the snowbird demo shop, there were like three pairs of arv's that had the exact same thing going on.
 
I don't want these skis rockered. I have pow sticks and these are supposed to be my park skis. I loved them how they were.
 
Yeah, that's just going to happen. Once when my skis broke, I demoed a pair of Fujatives that were like that. It wasn't much but they were just a little separated in the tips. I didn't really notice any drastic effects while skiing them, but I guess there could be slightly less pop. I say ski them and see how they feel. If they still have a good amount of pop and stability, just stick with it. But if you start to notice a big difference, and maybe start to get less pop off jumps, call up Armada.
