i was asking a question to the kid above me..

and considering youre still asking where to mount yours at means you havent rode them which means you dont have a clue how they ride from personal experience..so idk wut YOU'RE talking about

They are really easy to nose butter, the tail is slightly stiffer, but I usually have more control and weight on tail butters anyways so it didn't make a difference to me. I don't think you'll have a problem buttering them.

As far as the base delam, that seems really odd (never heard of ANY Armada ski doing that) and very warrentable, might want to check into that.

I loved my AR6's (I sold them to a friend cause I got new boots that didn't fit the bindings and I didn't want to remount and his fit so he bought them), I never experienced any difficulty with them. I skied about half a season on them before I had problems with my boots but I got about 25-30 days on them so I know they hold up very well on the east coast ice and a shitload of rails. They are such a fun and energetic ski, I'd fully recommend them if you're interested.

I used the search bar and came up with well over 20 people asking about this ski, with a decenta amount of replies. To help you out, this is Armada's "all mountain ski for the everyday park skier". Meaning that this is the ski for the park rat who on occasion will go and ski something other than a groomer. Its got tons of energy, the flex is soft, but with a little backbone, so it can be buttered. I actually like where the flex points on the ski are, I wopuld recommend getting them mounted on the CORE CENTER/ where the thickest part of the core is, this is about 2.5 cm back from dead center. This will give you a pretty even flexing ski infront of and behind the binding and having a stiffer underfoot.
