Armada Whitewalker 116 Ski -2027 White, 192cm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I've taken the Whitewalker 116 into some of the deepest snow I've skied all season and they stay playful without ever feeling unstable at speed. The Smear Tech tip and tail make butters and spins feel natural, and the float in powder is honestly kind of ridiculous for how light these are.""We drop into a line still untouched from the overnight storm, and this is exactly where the Armada Whitewalker 116 Skis come alive. Built for skiers whose idea of a good day involves steep faces and bottomless snow, these skis handle the kind of terrain most people only watch in ski films, then turn around and work just as well as a deep snow touring setup when the approach calls for it. That versatility comes down to a Caruba wood core that keeps the ski light for its width, paired with a freeride rocker profile that adds extra tip and tail lift for variable snow. The Smear Tech beveled base lets the tips and tails slide rather than catch, whether you're spinning off a cliff or busting through crud, and the sintered carbon base keeps things fast across long traverses between pow stashes."
