Why choose Armada skis?

Choosing Armada skis means embracing a true freestyle spirit and enjoying total freedom of gliding, with models featuring bold designs and cutting-edge technologies.

The history of Armada and its DNA

Armada was born from the vision of a collective of elite skiers: Tanner Hall, JP Auclair, JF Cusson, Julien Regnier, Boyd Easley, and Anthony Boronowski. Their goal was to create a ski brand designed by riders for riders, right from its founding in 2002 in Truckee, California. A winning bet to stand out from other brands! Although acquired by Amer Sports (Salomon, Atomic, etc.) in 2017, its DNA remains true to this philosophy: boldness, creativity, and a passion for skiing. Armada distinguishes itself through its independent spirit, far removed from traditional standards, and its ability to innovate to meet the needs of today's skiers.

How to choose the right Armada skis?

We advise you to consider your skier profile (beginner or advanced) when choosing skis, but other elements come into play such as the waist width which impacts flotation and responsiveness on the slope.

Consider your skiing level and style

The ARV range, with its medium waist (around 86-90 mm), is designed for all-mountain skiers. It offers a softer flex for freestyle and on-piste skiing. For expert skiers, we suggest the Declivity series and the Freeride (Whitewalker) models for maximum performance in powder and stability at high speeds.

Choose according to snow conditions

Armada skis are distinguished by their versatility, adapting to most snow conditions. For deep powder, the Freeride Whitewalker models are ideal thanks to their superior flotation. For hard or icy snow, the All-Mountain Declivity models offer the necessary grip. The choice of ski bindings should also not be taken lightly. They guarantee your safety and optimal energy transmission to the ski.
