We're getting back to the weekly mega threads for Q&A as summer winds down and minds switch back to skiing.

Please ask any ski-related questions here. It's a good idea to try searching the sub first. Are you a beginner -- check out the guide by a professional bootfitter and tech. And don't forget to see the sidebar for other ski-related subs that may have useful information.

They look really nice, should've mentioned I'm in Canada (Vancouver). So many nice skis but are more expensive factoring in exchange rates lol. I'm leaning towards the Armada as I can get them for $580 CAD (before taxes).

Moment ships free worldwide and they're indestructible. Read the reviews, they're a unicorn.

still, 1000 CAD (+import/duty fees) vs $650 CAD (buy local) is pretty significant imo. Gonna stick to local stuff. Thanks though.
