Armada

In the early 2000’s the way people skied was changing. Skiers were taking to the park, chasing after tricks that the snowboarding world had dominated thus far, and the world of free-skiing was born. While other companies focused on the traditions of ski racing, the founders at Armada saw a need for high quality freestyle skis that would bring the fun of the park to the two-planker crowd. Armada skis are widely known for their lightweight and flexible styles that do it up when grinding rails, pulling mid-air spins and hopping up on boxes. When you ski with Armada, you can shred the gnar with the bet of the knuckle draggers every day of the week. 

Armada specializes in freestyle skis that love to play in the park but they also make great all-mount skis, such as the Armada Invictus ski, that turn the whole mountain into your playground. Armada looks closely at side cut and rocker/camber profiles to make skis that are playful, predictable and let you rip it up wherever you want to go. Check out Armada adjustable ski poles that let you change the length depending on whether you are in the park or pole planting in the bumps. Armada ski poles come in both aluminum or carbon versions and the Armada Triad pole is the best bang for the buck you’ll find.
