Armada Locator 104 Ski w/ Shift 10 Demo Binding 2026 - 178cm

When the untouched expanse of a high-alpine face beckons, and the call of vertical exploration resonates deep within, the Armada Locator 104, paired with the adaptable Shift 10 Demo Binding, emerges as the ultimate companion for those who chase distant horizons. Forging an exceptional path in the backcountry, this 178cm marvel is engineered around an ultralight Caruba core, making ascents feel less like a chore and more like a fluid dance with gravity, a significant advantage when every ounce matters on extended tours. Yet, its true genius lies in its unwavering downhill composure; thanks to precise carbon reinforcement and the intuitive AR Batail Rocker, it floats effortlessly through fresh drifts, slices confidently through wind-scoured sastrugi, and maintains a stable, predictable ride through variable snow, empowering confident descents from challenging peaks to playful powder fields. The robust AR75 sidewall construction delivers tenacious edge hold when traversing icy sections or carving through firm snow, while the Shift 10 Demo binding offers tool-free adjustability, making it simple to fine-tune a stance or adapt for different boot sizes, ideal for those who value adaptability. This isn't just a ski; it's a meticulously crafted instrument designed for unfettered movement and exhilarating freedom across the vast, untamed winter landscape.
