I have a pair from the first year they were produced and they are mounted with Freerides. They really tear it up on the hill in powder in fact I find that I have to really be on my game as these skis want to go fast, they respond and make quick turns, but they want to point it. That said the ski is really just too big to be very light, after a thousand feet or so going up I find myself wanting something lighter on my feet. Also, not many people hike up several thousand feet just to straight line the whole thing. Use these things for a big powder day in bounds or side-country.

They would be. Armada makes some of the lightest skis in the business. I wouldn't see why they wouldn't be. They are the ideal size for backcountry travel.
