Seems like the year hasn’t even gotten rollin’ yet and we’re already hearing about 2013 gear. Ah well, keep on trucking. I give you the 2013 Armada Bubba ski. It’s like if the JJ and the ARG got together, had a passionate love affair and produced a wee babe. Assuming one of them was a female of course….

I got so excited this morning when I heard Tanner Hall was going to be doing an interview to promote his new documentary, “Like A Lion“. Little did I know that the guy giving the interview would be teleprompted some crazy, crazy stuff. First Tanner is the worlds best Free Skater what ever that means. Then… he says THall has won seven XBox games. With the amount of down time Tanner has had in the past year we know he has beat way more XBox games than that. I would believe it is safe that he is in the teens when it comes to games destroyed. Get your facts straight dog.

Ever think you want to work in the Ski industry? Well here is a great interview from Skiingmag.com with Chris O’Connell, founder of Armada Skis that may change your mind. Actually it will probably just make you want it more…

Three years ago I was lucky enough to find myself in possession of a pair of K2′s Limited Edition PBR Brewskis. Originally I didn’t plan on mounting them, instead they were going to grace the wall above my wax bench due to their rarity. I eventually decided a ski that unique deserved to be ridden, and for the last three years they’ve been my boards of choice on most days.

Things have changed in the last couple of seasons though, with all of the kids talking about rocker this and rocker that, so I’ve slowly come to the decision to retire the Brewskis to the shop, and that means I need to replace them with something equally versatile. Fortunately I’ve got a few specialized tools in my quiver, including some Pontoons for deep days, old and Salomon Gun’s for park days. That means the ski I replace the PBRs with needs to be versatile enough to ski pretty much anywhere, but more than anything it needs to be well rounded (and like I mentioned, it’s gotta have rocker).

Based on my above criteria I’ve narrowed my choices down to Armada’s JJ, K2′s ObSETHed or Rossignol’s S7 all of which are rockered at the tip and tail with camber under foot for cat tracks, traverses and harder days. Also, all three of these skis get rave reviews from pretty much everyone that skis them.

Read on for more comparison between these three sticks, and if you have some input on which one I should ski this year sound of in the comments.

Dude, if I won a trip to the Baldface Cat skiing resort in BC with my favorite Armada Pro I would air guitar the hell out of my new skis. Congrats to the lucky bastard, Darren Pedersen, of Vernon, BC. Sounds like he will be pushing some pow with Anthony and JP. Hopefully he can keep up because it should have been me or you. Well I guess there is always next year. Keep it up Armada Skis, you are driving the industry.
