The Armada Declivity 102 Ti Skis with Bindings offers a versatile but powerful combination that can lay trenches in hard snow but can still float and provide plenty of powder and soft snow performance. At 102-millimeters underfoot, it is right in that sweet spot for waist width, where it can be used by a variety of skiers and skier types on both coasts regardless of what mother nature provides for a surface on any given day of the week. It has more energy than a lot of skis that use metal laminates and remains stable at high speeds despite being relatively nimble and playful. Its 18-meter radius allows for some smooth medium-long arcs, and its softer tip paired with a not-so-tapered tail allows the ski to load up nicely and provide some snap out of the turn. Articulated Titanal Banding is an application of metal in which Armada takes out strips of metal along a longitudinal axis in the forebody of the ski. This allows it to flex more naturally into a turn so you don't feel like you're fighting an overly stiff ski. The Armada Declivity 102 Ti Skis with Bindings offer smooth turn initiation, strong edge grip, and a responsive feel out of each turn, which makes it tremendously fun to ski for advanced intermediate and expert skiers.
