Does anyone have any thoughts on the Armada Pipe Cleaners im looking for a good all mountain park/pipe ski and just wanted to see what anyone thought of them.

Thanks

- i don't own them and have never ridden them - disclaimer -

but i have heard very good things about them.

But I have heard that they are obviously a great pipe ski and are awesome on jumps. They can also destroy groomers but if i were you i wouldnt want to hit many rails or ski near rocks and stuff, becuase they have a race base and I wouldnt want to damage that.

Ive hear that they are actually good on rails

Same edges as thge AR6, but with the race base...

Need waxing more often, but faster than others

 

[armadaskier86]

but over all they should hold up if waxed on a regular basis

I love the Pipecleaner. Fast, stiff in the tails and under foot, soft enough to press and butter, and typical Armada durability. Highly recommended.

had the original pipe cleaners- hit rails on a daily basis- just maintain your skis properly and your set- my only reason why I hung them up was my bindings ripped out after 2 seasons
highly recommended

Thanks for the great info on the Pipe Cleaners

a friend of mine had a pair and rails destroyed the bases so he had to switch them out. never ridden them myself though

some of the best skis i've ever ridden. i have the og model and those have thinner edges, so i've gotten a couple cracks but nothing big, and the base holds up pretty well too. the flex is perfect. stiff enough and with enough of a sidecut to lay down some big gs turns but soft enough to ollie really high and butter very nicely. i'd recommend them for sure.
