Armada Stranger Skis | 2024

We started with a straightforward goal of building a ski to make the average day more fun, something that could carve hard, trick and butter anywhere on the mountain, and perform in a variety of conditions. The resulting creation, The Stranger, that blends freeride and freestyle attributes into a truly unique package. A tight 15m radius, a rockered springboard tail and a straight-tapered edgeless butter zone in the tip combine to make a ski that pops, carves and butters unlike anything else. Have more fun. Get strange.

Tech Features

• AR75 Sidewall - 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.
• Poplar Ash Core - Lightweight Poplar is combined with higher density full-length Ash stringers to create an incredibly lively ski with all the power needed for boosting to new heights.
• 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.
• S7 Base - Durable and low maintenance, with a speed additive for quickness.
• 2.5 Impact Edge - Oversized and specially heat treated, this edge is built to resist impact damage in the most demanding situations.
• Edgeless Tip - No metal edge in the tip of the ski reduces swing weight and gives a unique feel when buttering and pressing.
• Springboard Tail - Calculated design in the tail provides maximum energy feedback when pressing to provide a unique rebound on snow.
