Product Info
Hubba hubba. Catch a glimpse of these floaters, let alone ride a pair, and they will get your adrenaline going. The widest ski in Armada's collection, the Armada Bubba Skis were engineered for an effortless ride in bottomless powder. Simply put, there's not a chance you're gonna get stuck or sink in pow with the Bubba. But these skis don't just float like your fairy godmother, they have reinforced edges and dramatic tip taper to ensure you'll remain sprightly and in control.
Product Details
Rocker Type
EST Powder Rocker – Armada's most powder-specific profile. Fully rockered at the tip and tail, with minimal camber underfoot, it maximizes float in soft conditions for unprecedented control, while the small amount of positive camber engages the two widest points of the ski just enough to allow maneuverability on the hardpack.
Flex
Armada Flex – Tip - 5.5, Waist - 7.5, Tail - 6.5 (1 = Softest, 10 = Stiffest)
Shape
More tip taper and effective edge than its predecessor, the legendary ARG.
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.
Base
50/50 Base – A blend of speed and durability for the skier who wants it all.
Edges
1.7 mm Impact Edge – Light, strong and heat treated for durability.
Graphics
Digital Printed Topsheet
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain
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
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:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Turning Radius
Medium 17-22 m radius is best for all-mountain and park & pipe.

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.
