Product Info
The most decorated pipe ski in history, the Pipe Cleaner was crafted for pipe skiers and park riders who appreciate the feel of a stiff, cambered ski and an ultra-fast base. These skis have Carbon and Kevlar stringers in the tail to add pop and 2.5 Impact Edges, oversized and specially heat-treated to resist impact damage. But Armada would never dream of weighing you down. The Hybrid Double Zone Core helps you get maximum air and stomp your landings, while the Comp Base provides the sheer speed you're looking for from hit to hit.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Positive Camber – Traditional camber engages the tip and tail of the ski, enhancing ease of entry and exit into and out of a turn, while maintaining solid edge hold.
Flex
Armada Flex – Tip - 5.5, Waist - 7.5, Tail - 6.5 (1 = Softest, 10 = Stiffest)
Core
Hybrid Double Zone Core – Additional hard-wood laminates create the ultimate in power and control.
Laminates
Carbon Kevlar Stringers – Carbon and Kevlar stringers are used in the tail to add pop and extend life.
Laminate Matrix – Directional layering of fiberglass dictates flex pattern and torsional rigidity.
Sidewalls
AR50 Sidewall – Cap in the tip and tail, sidewall under foot - balancing performance characteristics with lower swing-weight and increased durability.
Base
Comp Base – Quite simply, Armada's fastest base.
Edges
2.5 mm Impact Edge – Oversized and specially heat-treated, built to resist impact damage.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain
Park & Pipe Park and pipe skis, often called freestyle skis, are for skiers who spend the majority of their time on jumps, rails, and jibs of all kinds. Traditionally park and pipe skis have narrower waists with full camber profiles, but this category is incorporating more rocker patterns and different shapes. You will almost always find these skis with twin tips as well as other park specific features like thicker, more durable edges, dense extruded bases, and butter zones.

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:
Camber
More
Rocker Type
Camber Camber is the traditional profile for skis offering skiers lots of edge hold, especially on harder snow. A cambered ski has a smooth arch underfoot and contact points near the tip and tail when unweighted. Camber skis excel at carving on hard snow; you won’t ever see a ski racer on anything other than cambered skis.

Tail Type:
Partial Twin Tip

Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
