Armada Stranger Ski 2023
Regular price $1,349.99 Sale price $944.99 Save $405.00Does this sound like you? I just need a ski that I can take to the groomers on an average day with my friends, carve hard, trick around on, laugh, and have a bloody good time. No bottomless pow, no 80-foot booters, no racing gates... I am just making the most of the average conditions at my local mountain. Because piste skiing can be way fun with the right tools. At 100mm underfoot with a 15m radius, they're the all-mountain hard carvers that'll own any side hit you decide to call your own. Featuring a straight-tapered edgeless butter zone in the tip and a rocked Springboard tail for extra pop, the Strangers combine edge-to-edge bliss with a jibby, playful personality that helps make the most of any day on the snow.
SKIER TYPE:
STYLE: All Mountain
ABILITY: Intermediate / Advanced
SHAPE: Rocker / Camber / Rocker
FEATURES:
Rocker Type
AR Freestyle Rocker – Rockered tips and tails are combined with positive camber underfoot to allow the ski to charge with ease through unpredictable snow and maintain a solid carve when asked to do so. Turn the whole mountain into your playground.
Flex
Flex Pattern (1=Soft, 10=Stiff) – Tip: 6 | Waist: 4 | Tail: 7
Core
Poplar Ash Core – Lightweight Poplar is combined with higher density full-length Ash stringers to create an impossibly lively ski that has all the power needed for boosting to new elevations.
Laminates
Springboard Tail
Edgeless Tip
Sidewalls
AR75 Sidewalls – Sidewalls provide improved edge pressure under the boot, while cap construction in the tip and tail provides smooth turn initiation and less hookiness - 75% sidewall, 25% cap.
Base
S7 Base – Durable and low maintenance, with a speed additive for quickness.
Edges
2.2 Impact Edge – Heat treated and built to avoid excess weight while maintaining durability, these edges give the best balance of durability and feel of the whole Armada collection.
