Full tip/tail rocker and true twin tip design! This options really shines in the park! 86mm underfoot with plenty of pop underfoot, smooth edge to edge transitions, and easier to get your spins around! Balanced flex rating in tips and tails and symmetrical build/shape is conducive to a more playful ride!













Armada Reliance 82 C Skis · Women's · 2023
The Armada Reliance 82 C skis are recommended for skiers looking for narrower-waisted skis to step up their groomer game. A lightweight ski with a Caruba wood core and carbon stringers, these Armada skis will certainly help you step it up on the groomers. A 14.9m turn radius in a 158 means you will be carving with ease, but the rocker/camber/rocker profile means you will still be smiling when the fresh snow falls.

Armada Reliance 88 C Skis · Women's · 2023
This is a super light ski because of its Caruba wood core and carbon stringers - which also add pop and control. With rocker and tapered sidecuts, these skis can float and carve in equal measure!

Armada Reliance 82 Ti Skis · Women's · 2023
This is a great all-mountain ski that can absolutely rip groomers! This ski has amazing edge hold, on par to that of a true carving ski, but can handle other kinds of variable terrain across the mountain as well! These also have two sheets of metal laminate for stability at speed.
