For years, your options for backcountry travel have fallen into two categories: uphill priority and downhill priority. For many of us, sacrificing uphill performance for a solid, hard charging, slash heavy experience on the way down was worth the slog. But then skis like the Armada Declivity hit the market. Utilizing an ultra light core for the way up, two sheets of metal and carbon stringers for the way down, and a healthy dose of nose rocker for pow, and you'll be wondering why you've been wandering in the woods on your oversized pow skis for so long. Take to the skin track with speed and agility without having to tiptoe your way back to the car on the Armada Declivity Skis.
AR Nose Rocker – Traditional sidecut profile with tip rocker - for all mountain ripping.
Flex Rating (1 Soft - 10 Stiff): Tip: 7 | Waist: 8 | Tail: 7.5 – Stiffer flex that won't buckle on steeper, harder terrain.
Traditional Shape w/ Tip Rocker
Tour Ultra-Light Core – Armada's lightest wood core species creates the best up-hill feel while retaining the dampness required to descend the gnarliest of terrain. This core makes no concessions in performance in its quest to be ultra-light.
Titanal – Two layers of metal provide stability at the highest of speeds.
Laminate Matrix – Directional layering of fiberglass dictates flex pattern and torsional rigidity.
Carbon Kevlar Struts – Carbon and Kevlar stringers used in the tip and/or tail to add pop and extend life.
AR50 Sidewall – Cap construction in the tip and tail, and sidewall underfoot, balancing performance characteristics with lower swing-weight and increased durability.
Comp Series Base – Armada's fastest base.
1.7 mm Impact Edge – Light, strong, and heat treated for durability.
I-Clip Tail – Notch for your skins, allowing for seamless transitions and better skin hold.
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
