I have been collecting armadas off Facebook marketplace for the last year or so, along with the skis I rode growing up. I’ve got a whole bunch now so I figured I’d show everyone and see who/if anyone else has anything similar. It would be cool to get like a craziest ski collections list or something going idk.

Sorry for the weird pictures, but it’s kinda hard to line up 37 pairs of skis to take a picture in a studio apartment.

Also, if you’re having trouble affording skis/bindings/boots cheap let me know, I can probably help you out, especially if you’re close to my size. Even if it’s not something I have,I’m kinda a wizard at finding stuff for cheap according to my friends.
 
Also, please excuse the mess in the first picture, I’m camping at hood rn and realized the 2nd year Al dentes are not in any of the other pics.

That’s mad dope, I’m hyped to see a picture or something, the vishnus top sheets are dope. I’m like 4-5 years away from having that with the armadas.

The 2nd generation bdogs that are shaped like the Al dentes but skinnier. Best ski ever made in my opinion.

besides the dopest graphics ever on a ski plus their remakes, i also like how this pic shows that you were a kid when you got the originals and then bigger when you got the throwback versions

I actually bought them all in the last year lol, it’s an interesting thought tho, the skis I had as a kid would’ve been the remakes tho, I’m only 22. The fisheye lens in the picture makes the longer ones look a lot bigger comparatively than they are tho

ahh, just a passionate collector then. sick dude! i love that people keep collections like this, like i think that NSer [tag=8438]@creighton[/tag] collected all the OG Line skis (or is in the process)

it always brings me shame for getting rid of some of the real classics i owned back in the day

I have half a mind to hit them up to see if they have any unsold pairs kicking around.

I'm REALLY regretting not buying a pair, way too funny not have bought them I really fumbled that

Not yet but in like 10 years seeing a pair will send me into psychosis for sure

I have two pairs lol, gonna keep my og white pair in good shape, and it will be kind of rare, as its already like 1 of 50

Not much of a collector but the 2014-2018 era of skis was the best

yeah the Jeffery’s are 2020s but I rarely ride them unless I go to the rockys

I have a pair of danollies on the way rn. Probably the most sought after park ski ever.

You’ll love em. Basically feel like a less clunky edollo. Also they don’t separate. My edollos piss me off cause they’re my favorite ski for being playful yet stable for my 200lb ass. They just instantly delaminated underfoot so every 2 days skiing I have to dry tf outta em then epoxy and clamp

That’s how I felt about the 2nd gen bdogs too, like the dollo but lighter.
 
Nowhere near the best collection but here's what I have.

1094048.jpeg

Current quiver top-to-bottom: 2021 Line Outline, 2009 EP Pro, 2023 Line Outline (brand new), 2016 Line Magnum Opus, 2023 Line Pescado (brand new), spare pair of K2 Missbehaved for my wife, 2016 Line Mordecai, 2012 Surface Watch Life. I still ride those EP Pro and Watch Life's all the time. The Magnum Opus just went on a trip to Japan this past season.

1094049.jpeg

Top-to-bottom: 3 sizes of kids Armada skis, my wife's K2 Missbehaved, 2009 Line Elizabeth, and a sick pair of CoreUpt powder skis that belong to my wife. When I'm out skiing with my kids (6-4-2) I'm usually on those Lizzies.

1094056.jpeg

My 2-year-old daughter's skis: 70 cm Nordica and 88 cm K2.

Then I have older skis in storage (no photos right now):

1094050.jpeg

Armada AR-V my first park skis - must be around 2006.

1094051.jpeg

1094052.jpeg

1094053.jpeg

Three older iterations of the Surface Watch Life. I can't find a photo online of the oldest pair I have, must be 2007, so there's a pic of me in the pipe with them.

1094054.jpeg

A pair of Ninthward never liked them.

1094055.jpeg

2013 Line Opus - these are actually still good to go - just in storage for some reason.
