Product Info

Armada Alpha 1 Skis 2012: The Armada Alpha 1 Skis are proven park dominator and all-mountain slasher. Utilizing patented EST Park Rocker in combination with the best and lightest materials possible, Armada provides you with a park ski without equal. A progressive, rockered, park tool that will help you push yourself, and skiing, to the next level.

Product Details

Shape

EST Park Rocker incorporates subtle rocker in the tips and tails with positive camber underfoot that enhances carving while also disengaging the tip and tail to create a catch-free feel that’s ideal for buttering and nose and tail presses.

This is a 5-dimension ski where the widest points are set back closer to the bindings for a tip and tail that are extremely maneuverable and hook-free for progressive, technical tricks.

Construction

With an AR50 side wall, the ABS sidewall meets Cap construction, combining lightweight Cap construction in the tip and tail with ABS sidewall underfoot resulting in enhanced edgehold and significantly lower swing and overall weight.

The Alpha 1 has a 2.5 edge, an oversized height and width and the steel heat-treated to a proprietary hardness which helps resist breaking and tearing out from rails, ledges, and other abuse.

The World Cup-inspired Comp base requires higher maintenance but pays for the extra TLC it requires with speed.

The Laminate Matrix consists of three kinds of fiberglass laminates used in combination to deliver the exact amount of flex and torsional rigidity needed in the appropriate places.

A blend of Carbon/Kevlar stringers run along the tail of the ski to stabilize it, creating a better landing platform, increased snap and added pop.

Flex

The Hybrid Triple Zone core is a composed of three high density wood stringers that sit along ultra light wood for a powerful, durable core with explosive energy return. The Triple Zone cores resist compression without creating unnecessary weight. ABS layers are pre-installed alongside the core directly underfoot to concentrate the weight of the ski below the boot sole to increase durability and lower swing weight.

Flex Pattern: tip - 6, waist - 8, tail - 7 (out of 10)

Dimensions

12.5m @ 170cm 94/111/81/100/85, 14m @ 176cm 95/112/82/101/86, 15.5m @ 182cm 96/113/83/102/87
