2017 Armada Declivity Touring Ski
JP Auclair’s touring ski of choice. JP wanted a ski that combined the feel of a high performance downhill ski with the weight of a touring ski – so that is what Armada did. This is an aggressive and powerful all-mountain ski that will reward those with great technique. Top and bottom layers of titanal give increased rigidity not commonly found in touring skis for a stiff and damp feel that handles the variable conditions found in the backcountry perfectly. AR Nose Rocker gives increased versatility around the mountain while the camber elsewhere gives this ski excellent edge grip. The long turning radius (26m) means this ski is perfectly suited to carving long turns. The flat tail accommodates any skin clip and is easily slotted into the snow, making this more than just a ski but a mountaineering tool.
