Armada Skis 2010

Think of the AR6 as a history lesson in park-specific ski design. Its DNA goes back seven years to our very first prototypes and proves that the terrain park rivals the race course as skiing's premier testing ground. After all, it takes the ...

The Alpha 2 brings the revolutionary Elf Shoe Tech of the Alpha 1 to the masses. Subtle differences like a modified Hybrid AR Core 1 and the S7 Base ensure uncompromised durability, which is important when paired with game-changing ski design, becaus...

Only Armada can boast of team members who carry our price-point ski in their quivers. That's because the El Rey isn't designed to be affordable; it's designed to be light, lively, and durable. It achieves those characteristics with a m...

Break the T-Hall down by the specs and you have an elite-level park ski: AR Core 1, 2.5 Impact Edge, S7 Base, and ABS construction all ensure pop, stability, and power. But like the man for which it is named, there's more to the T-Hall than numb...

It's only fitting that one of the most innovative ski designs available comes from two of the most innovative skiers in the sport's history. JP Auclair and Julien Regnier changed the game in terrain parks and then changed the game in the ba...

Put groms in the park, and their learning curve isn't really a curve at all—it's a line pointing straight up. That's because they're like little sponges with helmets; they learn something new on nearly every feature they hit. That...

The ARG is optimized for the deepest snow imaginable—maximum rocker, minimum sidecut—but because it features Elf Shoe Tech, the ski nevertheless performs in a variety of conditions. From wind-hammered snow to cut-up powder fields to the hard pack you...

When the ARV was born seven years ago, skiers demanding park-style performance all over the mountain were cutting edge innovators. Today, it's not just the Armada team members who require pop off terrain features and stability at speeds wrap...

We always say the same thing about the Pipe Cleaner: it's the most decorated halfpipe ski ever produced. That's because it keeps ending up on podiums, from the X Games to the Dew Tour to US Open and beyond. It has a competition pedigree, wi...

A pink graphic does not make a women's ski. To be taken seriously by female park skiers, a ski needs performance characteristics that equal the men's while acknowledging the differences. The ARW addresses the difference in average skier wei...

Last year, we introduced our first women-specific all-mountain ski and discovered what we already knew: If you build skis with materials that account for the lighter weight and more subtle power of a female skier, you can design skis nearly identical...

When we first released Anthony Boronowski's pro model, it was one-size-fits-all—provided you could keep up with a skier like Boronowski himself in the backcountry. But since his ski embodies all that is right with traditional fat skis, including...

It didn’t take Armada six years to offer an entry-level junior ski because we were focused on more experienced skiers. It took six years for us to refine the design, materials, and technology to the point where we knew we could offer parents a durabl...

What happens when a skier with Jacob Wester's skills and imagination takes Elf Shoe Tech into the terrain park? It becomes clear deep snow is not the only application for rockered, variable sidecut skis. Jacob proved that rocker opens up a whole...
