Product Details

Rocker Type

AR Freestyle Rocker
–
Rockered tips and tails are combined with positve camber under foot to allow the ski to charge with ease through unpredictable snow and maintain a solid carve when asked to do so. Turn the whole mountain into your playground.

Flex

Flex Pattern (1=Soft, 10=Stiff)
–
Tip: 6 | Waist: 4 | Tail: 7

Shape

Smear Tech
–
A 3D beveled base in the tip and tail creates a unique feel in all snow conditions. Less likely to catch in crud, self centering in deep snow and un-catchable on take offs, Smear Tech lets you float effortlessly whether sliding forwards, backwards, left or right.

Core

Caruba Core
–
Armada’s lightest wood species keeps the overall weight low while retaining the power and dampness you want while skiing.

Laminates

Laminate Matrix
–
Directional layering of fiberglass dictates flex pattern and torsional rigidity.

Sidewalls

AR75 Sidewalls
–
Sidewalls provide improved edge pressure under the boot, while cap constuction in the tip and tail provides smooth turn initiation and less hookiness – 75% sidewall, 25% cap.

Base

S7 Base
–
Durable and low maintenance, with a speed additive for quickness.

Edges

1.7mm Lightweight Edge
–
Heat treated, built to avoid excess weight while maintaining durability.

Specs

Terrain:
Big Mountain, Powder, Alpine Touring

Terrain

Big Mountain
Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail. Powder
These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow. Alpine Touring
Also known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.

No Bindings
Ability Level:
Advanced-Expert

Ability Level

Advanced-Expert
Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you’ll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.
Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker

Rocker Type

Rocker/Camber/Rocker
Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.
Turning Radius:
Medium

Turning Radius

Medium
17-22 m radius is best for all-mountain and park & pipe.
Core/Laminates:
Wood
Tail Type:
Full Twin Tip

Tail Type

Full Twin Tip
Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
