the ar3s are gone - it's now called the Coda, they're all capped construction and have an off-white top sheet.

no it just makes them cheaper to make. the coda is part of the "fleet" series. for less expensive more beginner type skis. but just use the search bar. theres a thread somewhere showin the entire line up. or at least most of them. i'm not feelin the ar6's next year. graphic wise that is. they have animals that look like cartoon animal crackers on them

maybe so...  but the top sheet damage from the little ones (at least from mine) was uhhhhh..  how do I put it..............   excessive.  I think it is smart move provided the performance is still the same..  Would love to stick a pair on my kid right now and try them out.

no the AR6 and ARV are still around

the El Ray is a new ski that will be more of a lower end all mountain ski, along the lines of the Public Enemy

capped construction is crap. i guess you never got the memo that if you wreck the sidewall, its way more expensive to fix on capped then sandwhich construction. boooooo armada.

yea, but with capped construction it's easier and cheaper to make. aka, good for lower end skis. And you get less top sheet chips and it's more durable. and since it is replacing the AR3, I don't really see that many 10 year olds blowing out the sidewalls

I don't think the AR-6 was ever marketed as, nor coined a "low grade all mtn ski." The Ar-6 looks quite the same. As for the capped skis...who cares? Aren't most of Lines skis capped? Pretty much everyone makes a capped ski. If you don't want it, buy the ar-6, ant, etc.
