New to the Armada Skis website for the 06/07 season is a section showcasing the actual artists that have contributed content for this year’s product offering. This is really good to see, especially because this year’s Armada graphics are better than ever, and most of the competition is still producing the same mediocre images as past years. Admittedly K2 is doing a great job with graphics as well, but I was unable to find on their site a prominent call out to the actual artist.

Featured Artists on the site include:
Mark Paul Deren
Matty Thompson
Sabastian Larose
Mike Parillo

Each artist has there own portfolio with images, and a brief bio. In addition to the major contributor’s the artist page has a public gallery where all a free to post their own work, just as long as it’s in JPEG format and less than 250K.

So the new ski gear is out on the shelves and unless your one of the lucky few who were able to ski on the early production stuff last season you could use a little advice on how changes have affected the new products. Luckily there exists a group of people who have spent a great deal of time using the gear all last season. Evogear.com has a network of pro athletes that are contributing commentary on their own signature addition products. Check it out…
