I recently bought 2014 Armada Pipe cleaner as a park ski. Some were saying the base was to fragile and some were saying the base was as tough as any other as long as i keep it welll waxed :). What made me make my choice is the armada's Alpha X presentation video on youtube (both skis have exactly the same base) which shows the Alpha X hitting biig rails setup really hard :). But now I need to know how often you need to wax those skis to consider it ''well waxed''
