Armada Whitewalker 116 Ski w/ Strive 13 Demo Binding 2026 - 185cm

Imagine dropping into a blank canvas of bottomless powder, where every turn feels less like a carve and more like a fluid dance across an ocean of white. The Armada Whitewalker 116 Ski, at a commanding 185cm, is purpose-built for those moments, offering an intoxicating blend of surfy float and unwavering control. Its generous 116mm waist, paired with the innovative Smear Tech, ensures you’ll glide effortlessly through the deepest stashes, allowing for intuitive, catch-free maneuvers in the most complex terrain. Beneath that playful veneer, a robust Poplar Ash Core and AR75 Sidewall construction deliver a lively pop for natural take-offs and landings, coupled with remarkable dampening to absorb high-speed chatter and maintain a confident edge when the snow firms up. The integrated Strive 13 Demo Binding provides immediate power transfer and exceptional responsiveness, translating every subtle input directly to the snow for a truly connected ride. This isn't just a ski; it’s an invitation from Armada to explore the mountain's wildest corners with an adventurous spirit and the precise tools to match.

TECH SPECS

• AR Freestyle Rocker – Rockered tips and tails are combined with positive camber underfoot
• Flex (1=Soft, 10=Stiff) – Tip = 7, Waist = 9, Tail = 8
• Pin Tip and Tail
• Caruba Core – Armada's lightest wood species creates the best uphill feel while retaining the power and dampness required for descending in the gnarliest of terrain. This core makes no concessions in its quest for ultralight performance.
• AR75 Sidewall – Sidewalls provide improved edge pressure under the boot, while cap constuction in the tip and tail provides smooth turn initiation and less hookiness - 75% sidewall, 25% cap.
• Comp Series Base – Sintered UHMW polyethylene with added carbon aids in speed and durability on snow.
• 1.7 Lightweight Edge – Light and strong, these heat-treated edges effect the feel of the ski minimally to ensure a snappy, lightweight feel.
• Smear Tech – A 3D beveled base in the tip and tail creates a unique feel in all snow conditions. Less likely to catch in crud, self-centering in deep snow, and uncatchable on takeoffs, Smear Tech lets you float effortlessly whether sliding forwards, backwards, left, or right.
