Product Info
We wouldn't have made a ski this cool if we didn't plan to ski on it ourselves. The Armada TST evoAIR Skis are a special co-lab hybrid blending the best of two awesome Armada skis, the TST and the KUFO. We loved the all mountain versatility of the TST, so the rocker-camber shape was a must. We loved the lightness and maneuverability of the KUFO, so the superlight Karuba core had to happen. We loved the artwork on the restaurant next to evo Seattle, so a topsheet by local artist Kyler Martz was a done deal. Expect to see a bunch of these on the feet of evo employees this season, but if you want to get in on the fun you'd better get in on the act now.
Product Details
Rocker Type
EST All Mtn Rocker – Entry rocker with positive camber underfoot and no tail rocker. Promotes flotation in soft snow while giving the ski great drive and edgehold on the hard pack.
Shape
Tapered Tip
Core
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.
Laminates
Laminate Matrix – Directional layering of fiberglass dictates flex pattern and torsional rigidity.
Sidewalls
AR50 Sidewall – Cap construction in the tip and tail and sidewall under foot - balancing performance characteristics with lower swing-weight and increased durability.
Base
Comp Series Base – Armada's fastest base.
Edges
1.7 mm Impact Edge – Light, strong, and heat treated for durability.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. 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. Alpine Touring Also known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.

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.

Turning Radius:
Short

Turning Radius
Short < 16 m radius is best for carving.

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.
