Is there any way of fixing those chips on the sides of the topsheet. My Armadas took a beating and the sides of the topsheet have some nice chips in them. Any help?? Preferably a solution that isn't too costly

It's only cosmetic, and won't affect the ski at all. If you're that worried about how your skis look, get a snowboard. Then you'll be cool.

Kidding, don't do that..... But there really isn't anything to do to fix it.

If it's a deep chip, the cover it nice with some 2-part epoxy. If it's just cosmetic then you cant do anything. Unless you buy the missing topsheet parts at Armada and glue them on...lol

yeah its really only cosmetic, but if u dont want the chips to continue on a new ski fill them with epoxy. I have 2 new sets of armadas and ive used a little epoxy on both to minimize the continuation of chips. if u do use epoxy, use the strongest stuff, it has like some pounds per square inch ratio or something to indicate its strength. Also use 2 part epoxy, hardener and the adhesive, way better, or at least i think so. epoxy is somewhere between 7-8 bucks to about 12-14 maybe, not exactly sure ive had my stuff for a long time.
