For Armada, doing things differently has always been a core value and the Stranger is the latest example of this. The goal was straightforward. Build a 15m radius ski that can tackle groomers with friends, carve hard, trick around on and just have a good time. At 100mm underfoot, featuring a straight tapered edgeless butterzone in the tip and a rockered Springboard tail for endless wheelies and extra pop, the all new Stranger merges carving with freestyle and freeride attributes.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type This is a blend of piste, all mountain, freeride and freestyle. It will carve on pistes and pop out of turns, It has the width to float if things get softer or deeper and it has the handling to be comfortable on any terrain. There's no metal so it isn't ultra stiff or precise, but what stiff skis can ollie or wheelie like a Stranger? It's a wide playful piste ski that loves to turn and it's a turny directional freestyle ski. It's what you make it.Skier TypeSkiers who want to have fun “ slashing, carving, popping, in any condition that the average resort throws up. Ability is less of factor, mindset is the key. It's just about having fun.OverviewShapeA long tapered nose combines rocker and an edgeless tip to produce smooth turn initiation and unflappable handling. It might be 100mm in the waist but the radius is still 15m so it will happily push out tight linked carves. It's aided by the springboard tail for extra energy and pop. The tips and tails are actually firmer than the middle section, helping the ski grip in and out of turn, with softness in the centre meaning it's easy to switch turn size and mix it up.RockerAR Freestyle Rocker uses rockered tips and tails combined with positive camber underfoot to allow the ski to charge with ease through unpredictable snow and maintain a solid carve when asked to do so.CoreArmada's Poplar Ash Core uses lightweight poplar combined with higher density full-length ash stringers to create an impossibly lively ski that has all the power needed for boosting.ConstructionAR75 Sidewalls use a blend of sidewall and cap for the right mix of precision, forgiveness and durability. Cap in the tip and tail reduces the swing weight for quicker spins; sidewall underfoot improves the energy transfer.Key Featuresedgeless TipThe front of the ski uses a straight-tapered butterzone with the edge removed. No edge at the tip makes butters and presses cleaner and easier, as well as reducing the weight for smoother faster steering.2.5 Impact edgeOversized and specially heat treated, this edge is built to resist impact damage in the most demanding situations.Springboard TailFor endless wheelies and extra pop.eB tester's comments: Steve (Buying Team) Loved this. Just a fun experience to ski around on, carving easily and wanting to pop and slash.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)17213810012015.2200018013910012115.82100General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: MediumBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Semi SidewallCore: WoodDemo: YesSizing Description: Forehead to over head height.

The arrival of the Pure Mission 98 Ti W means the Mission name is back, it’s better than ever and now it is available in a women's model. It’s an all mountain ski that has the width and stability for any condition whilst remaining excellent on piste. A titanal reinforcement underfoot and sandwich construction provide grip and performance; the paulownia and beech wood core and carbon stringers keep the manoeuvrable. This is a proper all mountain ski that you really can take anywhere.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type This is a relatively wide all mountain ski that is still excellent on piste, a hard mix to achieve but Scott have pulled it off. On firm snow it has bite and grip thanks to the Titanal; the light weight and carbon ensures it feels lively and quick, especially for a ski this size. In choppy and heavy snow the shape and construction allow it to power through effortlessly. A proper all mountain ski that you can take anywhere.Skier TypeAdvanced and expert all mountain skiers who want a relatively light ski but one that has the width and stability to power through variable and heavy snow. They’ll spend plenty of time on piste but need a ski for everything on the mountain. A great choice as a one-ski quiver seeing as it is so capable in so many environments.OverviewShapeInspired by Jeremie Heitz, the new Pure Freeride sidecuts provide both stability and manoeuvrability. Shorter radius in the front than on the back, with a long radius under the foot, make the ski agile in any conditions. 98mm underfoot with a 17m radius (168cm) keeps the Mission on the off-piste end of all mountain models with a relatively long radius and wide waist.RockerFreeride Tip and Tail Rocker. Having rocker in both the tip and tail allows for optimal float in deep snow and creates a playful ski, while traditional camber underfoot maintains edge hold and stability.CorePower Wood Core. The Full-Length Wood Core produces a more consistent ski flex and creates a homogeneous transition between middle part and rockered tip and tail. Paulownia is lightweight with great strength to weight; Beech adds strength and durability.ConstructionSandwich Sidewall Ti/Carbon. The ultimate ski construction for freeride performance. The full-length sidewall construction delivers precision and speed for effort transmission. The Titanal layer makes the ski ultra-stable for high-speed runs. The carbon brings lightness and comfort, for a perfect ski in any snow conditions.Key FeaturesTitanal reinforcementStability and performance are key on compact snow when the grip and the confidence in the skis are pushed to the limit. The titanal reinforcement makes the push on the edges quicker and more precise. The Scott titanal re-enforcement has a unique shape depending on the ski model to not compromise the natural flex and ski rebound. On the Mission it sits in the binding area, keeping maximum edge grip underfoot, whilst allowing the tip and tail more forgiving and lighter.Born and Nurtured in the AlpsThe Pure project is something special that Scott have been working on with leading freerider Jeremie Heitz. The Pure is equipped with a progressive titanal layer that harmonizes the flex and aids power transmission when coming out of a turn. At the same time, the ski delivers more stability, enabling you to hold your line while riding steep big-mountain lines. The Pure impresses with its light weight and performance, thanks to the dual-power wood core – a mix of paulownia wood and 2 beech stringers that cover the full length of the ski. The combination of paulownia and beech gives an extra edge when it comes to torsional stiffness. So, you can go all in on those high-speed runs, without any chattering skis.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1601329811816135016813398119171500General InformationSkier Ability: Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: LongBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Full SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Titanal LaminateDemo: Yes [Full Details]

The Pagoda Tour 90 RP is a versatile, do-it-all touring ski ready for any extended mountain mission, equally at home on the front side of your favourite ski area for those early morning fitness laps. With a softer flex pattern optimized for lightweight boots and bindings in mixed conditions, the RP shaping family has always placed an emphasis on ease of use and manoeuvrability. The 90mm waist stays out of the way on kick turns and offers a lightweight platform for uphill speed. This all results in a ski perfect for tackling strenuous backcountry routes where lightweight efficiency is key, even in conditions where a wider ski might be tempting.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type An ideal choice for lighter bindings so you can do longer tours and still have a ski that has float for fresh snow. The shape and flex aim it more at playful skiing than charging steeper, technical routes, but thanks to the Carbon construction it is not short of grip when things get firm.BC skiers who want a balance of weight saving and a ski big enough to deal with more than just packed snow – they want some float for when the uphill is going to be rewarded with fresh snow turns! Yet it isn’t so big that it becomes cumbersome or tricky.OverviewShapeThe RP shape is both surfy and intuitive. 90mm underfoot provides enough platform for all conditions without being too wide; the tapered tip and tail initiate turns effortlessly and allows them to be exited with clean carves or easily washed out.RockerRocker at the tip and tail equates to 45% rocker. Sounds like a lot but it works perfectly with the shaping. The camber underfoot makes the most of the carbon construction and playful 15m radius.CoreAsh has aerospace grade foam stringers interspersed and Paulownia overlaid, creating a light buy strong core that has plenty of life and response. Third Rail Technology uses bio-based Algal Technology to improve stability.ConstructionThe updated Pagoda Tour construction benefits from meticulous attention to detail across the entire R+D process, from sourcing materials to finding the most optimal ratios between them. DPS have introduced Algal sidewalls and Third Rail Technology that are approximately 68% bio-based content improving performance and product sustainability. Their proprietary carbon laminate provides power and energy that’s balanced with an ash and paulownia wood species, and aerospace grade foam core. The final product is a construction, that encourages the skier to lap the skin track to their hearts content and enjoy the descent with the utmost confidence.Key FeaturesRP ShapingThe RP chassis started with the first Wailer 112 RP design that incorporated generous tip/tail rocker and taper. RP originally stood for ‘Resort Powder', and the legend began. Its shape opens doors and makes truly versatile powder planing accessible to many. The RP's core shaping equation is impressive, 45% rocker merged with a 15m sidecut and means natural, intuitive skiing.Third Rail TechnologyThird Rail Technology uses bio-based Algal Technology to improve stability.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1651179010515171118901061517911990106151841209010615General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: MediumBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Mini Cap Full SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Algal TechDemo: No [Full Details]

Head’s Shape eV5 is a fun and lively intermediate piste ski that has just enough width to try a little exploring too. It was a ski that surprised us on testing, way exceeding our expectation with much more grip and stability than many skis much more expensive. It had no issue dealing with the firmer and rougher snow, happily putting down clean controlled turns and encouraging speed. On softer snow the balanced handling made terrain changes easy. The construction ensures it isn’t heavy, but also that it still feels super comfortable; the eRA 3.0 and shape make turning effortless, and the 74mm waist is the perfect all-round dimension for hard snow with some softer bits thrown in.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Lots of time on pistes whatever condition they’re in, especially fast, cruisy red runs, and some exploring off the sides looking for new challenges and terrain. It has surprising amounts of grip and encourages the skier to hold the carve a bit longer, push a bit faster and to progress. This applies especially on groomed snow and, thanks to how stable it feels, also on unpisted terrain where the always predictable handling will boost confidence.Skier TypeGood intermediates who are learning how to control skis at all speeds and in various conditions.OverviewShapeThe eV5 has so much shape they even include it in the name. This ski is seriously curvey with a big wide nose that works with the rocker to initiate turns effortlessly. The waist is 74mm, an ideal size so that piste response is not affected yet with just enough width to feel stable in rougher and softer snow for some off piste exploring. The tails are rounded I shape to ease turn release when conditions or terrain are trickier.RockerAllride Rocker uses tip rocker and camber underfoot; perfect for skiers who feel comfortable on any slopes. It enables superior steering and increases floatation. The camber ensures grip and precision on hard snow.CoreA vertically laminated wood core has a composite sock around it. This combination results in good vibration control, no excess weight and a smooth ride that suits ambitious skiers who don’t want all out power.ConstructionPower Sidewall Jacket Construction is a mouthful, but it gives a lot of clues to what it does and how it’s made. A cap construction enhances durability and sits on top of ABS Sidewalls which provide precise energy transmission. As well as the wood composite core, a layer of Graphene is used to keep the ski light but also increase the strength.Key FeatureseMC Fenergy Management Circuit Front, the world's only electronic ski dampening system. When the ski bends and vibrates, it takes the kinetic energy in the ski and transfers it into electrical energy, which is then used to absorb negative vibrations for a more stable experience. Smooth skiing and exceptional edge grip, whatever the conditions.eRA 3.0eRA 3.0 is a combination of technologies, shape and geometry using a targeted rocker at the tip with low rise, a progressive radius and vibration absorbing fibres. The rocker improves steering and enhances soft snow versatility. The progressive radius at the tip means that even though there is rocker, less angulation is required to get full edge contact, resulting in better grip. Intellifibers in the tip dampen vibrations for a smoother ride.GrapheneGraphene is the thinnest and lightest element ever discovered by mankind. It is also the strongest material on the planet, stronger than diamond and 300 times stronger than steel, all in the thickness of one atom. By using it in the construction Head can reduce weight and increase strength of the ski.eB tester’s comments: Sean (Liverpool) Great edge hold on hard snow and quick response and easy in short turns with plenty of bite if you want to go a bit faster.

The Real Joy is sure to do well thanks to the blend of easy handling and fun performance. It's a piste ski for mixing up the speeds and the slopes; simple to ski when the energy levels drop, and fast and responsive when the mood takes you. The light construction of wood core and Graphene keeps the weight down but also makes it lively. The narrow waist of 73mm and short radius provide quick tums with eRA 3.0 ensuring hassle-free control.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Piste all the way, any colour, though the steepest, firmest black runs aren't going to be skied at full speed.Skier TypeDedicated piste skiers, from intermediate to lighter advanced level. The ski has an easy energy and carves clean turns but doesn't have to lock in so it is comfortable to allow some skid at the start or end of the turn.OverviewShapeeverything about the Real Joy screams turning. The radius is a tight 10.9m (at 158cm), and the waist comes in at 73mm so it will feel quick going from edge to edge, without being so narrow that it starts feeling twitchy.

One of our most popular women's all mountain skis, the Absolut Joy, got an impressive upgrade recently with karuba wood used in the core which, as we expected, boosted its appeal even further. The karuba keeps the ski lightweight and improves the stability in variable snow as well as increasing grip. Adding to the lightweight theme, Graphene is used to fine-tune the flex, making the ski feel supremely balanced even when the snow gets rough. It's got a huge performance bracket that satisfies skiers from intermediate right up to advanced level and it's a worthy winner of many awards.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type It's an all mountain ski, but a piste focused one. The majority of time will be spent following marked runs, its width and smooth flex are ideal for dealing with rough snow when the trails chop up, because they're rarely perfectly groomed for long, but it isn't too wide to make it feel sluggish or slow to respond. It is also well suited for exploring off the sides, hunting some fresh snow or different challenges like trees or tracked-out snow.Skier TypeIntermediate and lighter advanced skiers who mainly stay on piste but who do enjoy more than groomed snow. Technique doesn't need to be perfect as the ski is not demanding to use and does have the grip to hold a carve, so it encourages progression of skills and allows the skier to be more adventurous. These traits also mean it's a lovely cruiser too.OverviewShapeIt has the curves of a piste ski, just with an slightly exaggerated waist and tip and, thanks to the lightweight materials used, it doesn't feel any heavier than a typical piste ski. The radius is on turny side, matching perfectly the requirement to spend hours cruising and turning on marked trails, and isn't too tight or long so it still helps to make skiing different terrain easier, remaining stable and manouevrable.RockerAllride Rocker uses tip rocker and camber underfoot; perfect for skiers who feel comfortable on any slopes.

The e-version of the Head Supeshape Titan is wider than previous models, has a longer radius and is more stable than the versions that came before; all with no loss of grip or energy. The addition of eMC, an electronic dampening system, has smoothed the ride and works perfectly with the new shape. It's the ultimate choice for a high-performance ski that will crush pistes and won't even flinch when the snow gets chopped or heavy.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type This new version is going to be happy anywhere on the frontside. Reds and blacks are the go-to pistes and the wider shape ensures even more terrain is accessible. Trees, packed-down runs off the sides of pistes and fresh snow stashes are all natural playgrounds for this ski and, if you're lucky enough to be skiing in spring, the Titan will take some beating when it comes to powering through slushy and soft conditions.Skier TypeGood skiers who like a performance ski for moving round the mountain at pace and with grip and precision. Whilst the skiing will often be fast, the beauty of a Titan is that it is so stable that crusing and relaxing is an option, even at medium speeds when some other advanced and expert models can be tiring to use.OverviewShapeAt 84mm underfoot now, the e-Titan is wider than its predecessors, it's also lost some mm's from the tip and has a longer radius. The result is more stability in rougher snow and a smoother ride thanks to the new eMC technology making the most of the shape. The contact points are set right in the tip and tail so the effective edge is long, helping with the grip and the feel of immediate response when turning.RockereRA 3.0 S on the Supershapes uses a speed rocker which, put simply, means the ski has tip rocker and some clever tip design.

The Head Supershape Magnum has always had impressive grip, controlled handling and responsive power. The addition of the eMC in last year made it even smoother, boosting not only groomed piste performance but also chopped conditions and fresh snow. There aren't many piste skis that feel so good on marked runs and there aren't any that deal with other conditions like an e-Magnum.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Pistes are the natural home, looking for the space to let loose and push the speed up. The short radius means it loves to ski the fall line and attack tighter spaces, but it it still feels good in wider turn shapes. It is surprisingly good off the side of the pistes too. Sure, it won't feel as smooth or stable as the all mountain specialists but it will leave the majority of one-dimensional piste models in it's snow trail.Skier TypeThe Magnum is quite possibly the most popular advanced piste ski of the last few years and this latest version is only going to reinforce that. It's not a hard ski to use, in fact, it can feel beautifully cruisy when you relax but, to really get the most from it and feel the best sensations, you need push the ski and test its limits.OverviewShapeThe 72mm waist is the ideal size for a ski that is going to feel fast from edge to edge and still be able to handle conditions when it gets choppy or there is soft snow about.

From Ellis Brigham
The e-version of the Head Supeshape Titan is wider than previous models, has a longer radius and is more stable than the versions that came before; all with no loss of grip or energy. The addition of eMC, an electronic dampening system, has smoothed the ride and works perfectly with the new shape. It's the ultimate choice for a high-performance ski that will crush pistes and won't even flinch when the snow gets chopped or heavy.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type This new version is going to be happy anywhere on the frontside. Reds and blacks are the go-to pistes and the wider shape ensures even more terrain is accessible. Trees, packed-down runs off the sides of pistes and fresh snow stashes are all natural playgrounds for this ski and, if you're lucky enough to be skiing in spring, the Titan will take some beating when it comes to powering through slushy and soft conditions.Skier TypeGood skiers who like a performance ski for moving round the mountain at pace and with grip and precision. Whilst the skiing will often be fast, the beauty of a Titan is that it is so stable that crusing and relaxing is an option, even at medium speeds when some other advanced and expert models can be tiring to use.OverviewShapeAt 84mm underfoot now, the e-Titan is wider than its predecessors, it's also lost some mm's from the tip and has a longer radius. The result is more stability in rougher snow and a smoother ride thanks to the new eMC technology making the most of the shape. The contact points are set right in the tip and tail so the effective edge is long, helping with the grip and the feel of immediate response when turning.RockereRA 3.0 S on the Supershapes uses a speed rocker which, put simply, means the ski has tip rocker and some clever tip design. There is plenty of camber along the skis length for rebound and energy. A targeted rocker at the tip with low rise, progressive radius and vibration absorbing fibres results in superior steering and less angulation is required for immediate response and a smoother ride.CoreVertically laminated wood with Graphene and twin Titanal layers. This mix of lightweight but strong materials produces a ski with the most extreme agility and thrilling responsiveness for ultimate performance. Graphene being so light means that thicker and wider Titanal sheets can be used, covering the entirety of the ski to ensure a more reactive and powerful ride. Graphene is the thinnest and lightest element ever discovered by mankind. It is also the strongest material on the planet, stronger than diamond and 300 times stronger than steel, all in the thickness of one atom. By using it in the construction Head can reduce weight and increase strength of the ski.ConstructionHead's Worldcup Sandwich Cap Construction is developed with the most sophistacted materials known to man and uses tried and test techniques. The sidewall delivers energy to ski edge precisely for the best grip; the mini cap on top adds durability. Graphene is the thinnest and lightest element ever discovered by mankind. Key FeaturesProtectorThanks to its Full Heel Release (FHR), vertical and lateral, the Head’s Protector binding can reduce the risk of injuries for both the knee and the lower leg. The reduced release values in forward and especially in backward twisting falls assure less stress for your knees and safer skiing. Conventional bindings offer only vertical release at the heel. Protector bindings offer Full Heel Release (FHR) - releasing 180 degrees (laterally and vertically). 7mm of bi-lateral movement absorbs all impacts on the binding and avoids pre-releases. The 30 degrees rotation is then only initiated when the loads are too high and the ski boot is released.eMCenergy Management Circuit, the world's only electronic ski dampening system. When the ski bends and vibrates, it takes the kinetic energy in the ski and transfers it into electrical energy, which is then used to absorb negative vibrations for a more stable experience. Smooth skiing and exceptional edge grip, whatever the conditions.eRA 3.0eRA 3.0 is a combination of technologies, shape and geometry using a targeted rocker at the tip with low rise, a progressive radius and vibration absorbing fibres. The rocker improves steering and enhances soft snow versatility. The progressive radius at the tip means that even though there is rocker, less angulation is required to get full edge contact, resulting in better grip. Intellifibers in the tip dampen vibrations for a smoother ride.eB tester’s comments: Luke (Buying Team) Felt easier to ski on softer pistes with the slightly wider waist width.
