Anyone have anything to say about these skis? Do the edges hold up well on rails? and is there any store selling these at a reasonable price?

do it. i and many others on this site love them. I can't say much for durability because i only got mine a few weeks ago after killing my last skis, but they are soo fun, and most people seem to agree that armada makes very durable skis. they are soft enough to butter and fuck around on, but stable enough to handle jumps. searchbar for a few more reviews, i'm not very good at explaining this sort of stuff.

That's what i'm riding this year (first year on armada) and I love them. They hold up well on pretty much everything that I have skied this year and seem to be pretty durable so far. Top sheets still chip and tear a lot, but you don't notice the white top sheets against the snow anyway. and what's a ski if its not gonna get skied hard.

The edges hold up great they are stable at high speed.  but the top sheet and the side wall chip easy

the suspect is a great ski but they are not durable. If you dont mind in buying a new pair of skis every 6 months then i suggest the suspects, but i cant afford to keep buying new skis so im going with armada!

I rode suspects last year. Great ski for me and I had no durability problems because I didn't hit to many rails last year. Both Ar7s and Suspects are great skis but suspects do tend to have the problems.

I rode my friends AR7's and they were super fun! Soft enough to do butters and what not, but stiff enough to hit some good sized jumps. I'm skiing this years Reno Jibs so the AR7's felt really different but super fun!

Anyone know of a store in preferably massachusetts that is not sold out of the Ar7's. Online stores work too. I just cant find any sites with good deals.

I went to Buchikas in Salem NH for mine, they are nice there, but don't know that much about park skis. So I emailed Aramada for mounting info and they helped me out. But check out the find a dealer on Armada's website. There are a bunch of places in MA.

You might want to see if anyone will hook you up with an end of season deal though.
