2023 Armada Skis Preview
In the early 2000’s how people skied was changing, but legacy ski companies continued to anchor their identities in alpine racing. What came to be known as freeskiing was a departure from anything that had come before – it shared more in common with the freedom of snowboarding, skateboarding and surfing than it did with anything seen in skiing at the time. This new movement left more to the imagination, and there was a shared sentiment among a new generation of skiers that the style and progression they were pursuing should be celebrated. The time had come for a company that did exactly that... Enter Armada.

Terrain | All-Mountain |
Despite what the latest TGR movie would have you believe, most days in the mountains actually aren't chest deep pow and endless cliff drops. Sure, those days happen, and they're the stuff dreams are made of, but in between there are a whole lot of other days that really make up the bulk of skiing. The Armada Stranger Skis are made for those other days. The groomer days, slush days, park laps, hot laps, and laughing all the way to the bottom. They have a short turn radius for carving up fresh cord, springboard tails for boosting off every side hit in sight, and big edgeless tips so your buddies can get a good laugh out of watching you try to nose butter every roller you see. We may all be strangers on a powder day, but we're all friends on a Stranger day.

With a freestyle-minded forward mount point, pin shaped tip and tails, a sturdy flex, and Smear Tech 3D beveling, these skis are incredibly well balanced in the air, poised down the fall line, and flowy through open terrain.

Let's face it. Most people just don't have enough time, money, or garage space for a whole quiver of resort skis AND a whole quiver of touring skis. You might have some powder planks and a hard snow setup for the inbounds, but when it comes to touring skis, you're probably looking for one ski that can do it all. But doing it all in a place like the backcountry, which can grant you the deepest snow, the longest climbs, and the mankiest crud, sometimes all in the same lap, is no small feat. And that's exactly what the Armada Locator 104 Skis are built to do. Coming in at less than 1500 grams per ski, they're insanely lightweight for their size. Pair that with versatile waist width, burly construction, and playful-yet-serious shape, and these things are an incredible jack of all trades for the backcountry. Whether your touring day is long or short, deep or shallow, the Locator 104 is up for the challenge.

Somewhere out there, just over the next ridge, is the line you've been waiting your whole life to ski. Maybe it's a perfect pillow field, or a straight line chute with serious implications. Whatever it is, there's certainly not a chairlift that goes to the top of it, and it's certainly not the type of thing you want to be skiing on dinky little skimo planks. To help you find the nirvana you've been seeking, Armada has developed a new line of touring skis. The Armada Locator 112 Skis are the big guns of the new Locator series. They're wide and beefy for float and power charging the fall line and surfing through soft snow, but they also are remarkably light to make the skin track a breeze.
