PRODUCT REVIEW: ARMADA 2021-2022 SKIS & GEAR
ARV SERIES
A slope-loving all-mountain ski that's built like a tank. Armada's Arv ski boasts a precisely tuned combination of camber underfoot, rockered tips and tails for flotation, and our powerful Widebody Core. This is the ski for those who aren't afraid to encounter any amount of powder all day, every day.
STYLE
The Armada Arv skis offer great performance without breaking your budget. A lightweight honeycomb core construction and a 3D beveled base in the tip and tail create a unique feel that is less likely to catch in crud, self centering in deep snow and un-catchable on take offs. The Smear Tech sidecut creates great float without straying from traditional camber characteristics.
CONSTRUCTION
The Armada Arv, a carving ski for those craving all-mountain performance. Lightweight Poplar is combined with higher density full length Ash stringers to create an impossibly lively ski that has all the power needed for boosting to new elevations.
PERFORMANCE
Wrap your feet with the Armada Arv Ski. Built with a 75% sidewall/ 25% cap construction, this ski offers smooth turn initiation and consistency. The poplar wood core provides a lightweight feel so you can enjoy your time on the coulees. This ski also includes a pure graphite layer to increase the strength of the ski, as well as ABS sidewalls for an improved edging experience.
DECLIVITY SERIES
The Declivity is the ski of choice for Tof Henry. Built in Chamonix with a strong, stable, damp, twin shape meant to work through demanding conditions with ease. Boasting Armada's BMT core for bomber stability underfoot with 95mm of waist width to slap, slop, park, or pipe with confidence. If you need a ski that will bring your hammer game to the next level while still delivering all around performance look no further than the Armada Declivity X Ski.
STYLE
The Armada Declivity is a freeride ski with an exceptionally quick turn initiation and a ultra-efficient, ultimate bite. The Titanal adds horsepower and strength while an Elastic Compound Layer allows the ski to enter the turn with ease, compressing and releasing more energy than a traditional TI layer. The Declivity is engineered for skiers pushing the limits of the mountain.
CONSTRUCTION
The Armada Declivity Ski is a great ski for the recreational to intermediate skier. The Armada Declivity Ski delivers quick edge-to-edge power with its light weight and progressive sidecut. This ski features an Armada Utility core made of Caruba-Poplar wood. Wood delivers better rebound, durability, and performance than conventional composites.
PERFORMANCE
The Armada Declivity Ski is your gateway to true off-piste exploration. A tip-to-tail rocker profile, along with a slight pop of positive camber underfoot, guarantees ultra nimble float in the soft stuff. And when you want to head back to the resort, this ski's signature forebody turn shape encourages strong edging and easy carves. With Freeride Rocker in the tips, the Declivity Skis are made to power through chopped up crud like it isn't even there.
TRACER SERIES
If your idea of the perfect day involves getting to those steep and deep lines with nothing but your own two legs, then these are the planks for you. A light Hybrid Core paired with a Taper Tops profile keeps weight down while maximizing control and maneuverability. The Armada Tracer 118 Skis are designed for ripping it up in the backcountry.
STYLE
Some skis are easy to see, but the Tracer hides under the radar. From its extra tip taper, to its fore body rocker, EST (Early Stage Tuning), and lightweight core construction, these understated skis blend into their surroundings like a chameleon. Optimized for soft snow conditions, the Tracer's subliminal blend of technologies lends itself perfectly to quick-draw turns on everything from veracious bumps to slow-rolling crud.
CONSTRUCTION
The Tracer series features hybrid rocker and tapered tails. A quick turn point combined with a moderate tail rocker line makes these skis incredibly easy to pivot, as well as versatile enough to take you from the alpine to the backcountry with ease. With thinner waist widths, a softer flex and lighter swing weight, these skis are built for those with the adventuring spirit.
PERFORMANCE
The Armada Tracer is a legendary ski. With it's Varia-Weave Construction and Adaptive Mesh, the Tracer skis like no other in all conditions. The Tracer offers a massive tip and tail that has been reinforced with a special exclusive material to absorb snow impact without affecting ski flex or durability. Perfect for everything from powder to crud, the Tracer is the ultimate big mountain machine, and it's performance will leave you grinning ear to ear all season long.
