Armada Alpha1 2011

this ski is extremely light and is to stiff but its perfect for buttering. the ski is really fast compared to most park skis its got a race base. the edges on the bottom are alloy a very light and STRONG!!!!!!!. i did not have to sharpen these edges for a long time. the bottom of the ski is actually pretty strong i went to marmot basin in jasper Alberta and brang these skis in some 4 feet powder AND THESE SKIS FLOAT i thought that they were just a park ski but they float so don t be scared to buy these and think they wont float. i skied over some rock and i thought that i had put a huge dent i the base of the ski but it was a tiny dent AND THE ROCK WAS HUGE. i rate these skis a 4.5/5 the only bad thing about these skis is the price the price it is 630$ Canadian 570$ american but you are paying WHAT IT IS WORTH all of the expensive stuff in the ski. this ski was great in the park rails jumps the skis has barely no swing weight. the ski is perfect for butters it is not to stiff though its soft its weird. BUY THESE SKIS and these skis dont chip ar50 side walls work.
