Armada Stranger

The all-new Stranger lines up in Armada’s Zero Series this year as a real world freestyle-slash-freeride ski – a shred all day, every day, everywhere kinda rig.

“No bottomless pow, no 80-foot booters, no racing gates… just making the most of the every-day conditions at your local resort” say Armada, which quite frankly makes a lot of sense – particularly these days.

The chat may sound convincing but it’s the tech that makes the Stranger so potentially compelling.

The tight 15m radius looks set to deliver the kind of snaptastic turning trickery you’d expect from an all-mountain or pistey kinda ski, yet you’ll be riding aboard a girthy freeride-esque 100mm underfoot, so it should be simples to switch into float mode when it’s time to hit the soft play area.

Mix in some key freestyle attributes, such as the straight-tapered edgeless butterzone in the tip and the rockered Springboard tail for pop-tastic wicked wheelies, and you’re looking at a wicked hybrid ski for free spirits who refuse to be pigeon holed.

Excited? We are…
