Armada Stranger

ARMADA’S GOAL WITH THE STRANGER IS SIMPLE: to ensure you’re never a stranger to the mountain, no matter what the conditions are that day. When Dan Grund got on it, all he had to say was, “this is the closest you’ll get to snowboarding in a ski.” At 100 mm underfoot, the Armada Stranger isn’t made for the deepest days and biggest sends; it’s engineered to make even the most average days feel like an absolute blast. This ski is literally all about fun. A poplar-ash wood core keeps things light and lively for popping off of side hits, a wide, edgeless tip makes for silky smooth butter maneuvers and a rockered springboard tail just begs to be wheelied. For those who have a hankering for butters and jibs, the Armada Stranger will enable you to get intimate with every crevice of the mountain.
