Product Info
The Armada Norwalk Skis are the answer to your big mountain charging needs. Less hard snow focused than the burlier Armada Invictus, the Norwalk has a flat tail to deliver power through the end of a turn and a rockered, tapered tip to keep you floating for when the white white piles up. Armada keeps the swing weight down with their AR50 Sidewall construction, making the Norwalk incredibly nimble for a big mountain ski.
Product Details

EST All Mtn Rocker – Early rocker with positive camber under foot and no tail rocker. Promotes flotation in soft snow while giving the ski great drive and edge hold on the hard pack.
Flex
Flex – Tip - 6.5, Waist - 7.5, Tail - 7 (1 = Softest, 10 = Stiffest)
Core
Hybrid Ultralight Core – Lightweight wood with high strength to weight ratio
Laminates
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.

Terrain
Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level:
Intermediate-Advanced

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber Rocker/Camber skis pair a traditional cambered profile underfoot with an elongated, early rise tip borrowed from fully rockered skis. This profile places the front contact point further back from the tip, while the rear contact point remains close to the tail. The rockered tip allows for better flotation and less edge catch for increased float in deep snow, while the cambered rear stores and transmits energy similarly to a fully cambered ski.

Tail Type:
Full Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Full Twin Tip Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
