Armada Locator 104 Ski - 2027 Silver, 178cm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying""I've been on a lot of 104mm skis that can't decide what they want to be, but the Locator 104 has a clear identity. The Caruba core keeps it lively without feeling loose, and the freeride rocker transitions into camber in a way that gives you real edge grip when you need it. I took it through some chopped-up afternoon snow and it held together better than I expected for something this wide. It's a solid daily driver for anyone who skis a variety of terrain.""Who It's ForIntermediate to Advanced All-Mountain SkiersThe Locator 104 is built for skiers who don't want to choose between groomers and off-piste. Comfortable on intermediate to advanced terrain, it suits riders who spend their day moving between groomed runs and variable snow — and want one ski that handles both without compromise. What It's ForAll-Mountain and Mixed-Condition TerrainThe Locator 104 is designed for skiers who explore the full mountain. With a 104mm waist, it floats in softer snow while maintaining enough edge contact for confident carving on hardpack. It performs in mixed conditions, variable pitch, and the kind of in-between snow that doesn't fit neatly into powder or groomer categories. Why We Like ItCaruba Core Construction with Freeride RockerThe Locator 104 is built around a Caruba core that keeps the ski light and responsive without sacrificing stability at speed. The freeride rocker profile helps the tips rise naturally in soft snow, while the underfoot camber delivers edge hold when the pitch steepens. Carbon reinforcement adds torsional stiffness where it matters, and the Ti binding dampener smooths out chatter on rougher snow. The AR75 sidewall and Comp Series base round out a construction that prioritizes durability and on-snow feel across a wide range of conditions."
