            If you're a skier on a budget, or simple looking for a lighter ski. Go for the press, you don't need a 700$ Ski from Armada thats gonna last you maybe 2 years you want a durable ski that you could afford to beat up a little, the Press is the ski to do that on. I have a pair of Salomon Suspects and a pair of Line Chronics, both aren't even comparable to the Press. I seriously recommend you buy them they are a light, fun, playful, buttery ski that slays anywhere on the mountain from rails to pow.

            Really this is a great ski. If you are someone who do a lot of tricks, rails etc. It will not scratch.
            It great and I like them a lot. But if your someone that thinks they can handle them and your an intermediate, don't only if you can do rails and stuff... Over all It is the ski to get!
