Somewhere out there, just over the next ridge, is the line you've been waiting your whole life to ski. Maybe it's a perfect pillow field, or a straight line chute with serious implications. Whatever it is, there's certainly not a chairlift that goes to the top of it, and it's certainly not the type of thing you want to be skiing on dinky little skimo planks. To help you find the nirvana you've been seeking, Armada has developed a new line of touring skis. The Armada Locator 112 Skis are the big guns of the new Locator series. They're wide and beefy for float and power charging the fall line and surfing through soft snow, but they also are remarkably light to make the skin track a breeze.

Product Details

Rocker Type

EST Freeride Rocker  Forebody rocker and extra tip taper combine to create EST for optimized float in the soft stuff. Positive camber under foot with no tail rocker ensures these skis stay on rails when carving is the priority.

Core

Caruba Core  Armada's lightest wood species creates the best uphill feel while retaining the power and dampness required for descending in the gnarliest of terrain. This core makes no concessions in its quest to be ultralight.

Laminates

TI Binding Dampener  Below the binding, a sandwich of rubber, titanal, and finally more rubber works to dampen vibration that otherwise chatters into your bots and shortens your day. Ski bell to bell with extra damping provided.

Carbon Reinforcement  Specially placed carbon stringers add pop and stiffness without adding weight.

Base

Comp Series Base  Sintered UHMW polyethylene with added carbon aids in speed and durability on snow.

Edges

1.7 Lightweight Edge  Light and strong, these heat-treated edges effect the feel of the ski minimally to ensure a snappy, lightweight feel.

Additional Features

AR Bat Tail Self Center Tail Clip Design

Binding Compatibility

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
