Skis
Skier Ability: Advanced to Expert: Skipping the blue runs to get to the black runs, but sometimes a little cautious when it gets very steep, or some hesitation when your buddy says, ''You just have to clear those rocks or else you're toast.''
Ideal Target Skier: Big Mountain Charger: Top speed, all the time, regardless of terrain, obstacles or children in the way, these skiers need stability on par with professional downhill racers. They are usually looking for long skis that are wide and heavy.
Hybrid Ultra-Lite Core: A combination of lightweight woods throughout and hardwood laminates underfoot, the Hybrid Ultra-lite Core created the ultimate in agility and maneuverability without sacrificing any security or dampness underfoot.
EST Freeride Rocker: Rockered tips and tails combined with positive camber underfoot to promote flotation in soft snow and provide remarkable control on groomed runs.
Tapertops:A 3D topsheet with beveled construction strengthens the ski's perimeter for maximum efficiency and stability.
I-Clip Tail:A notch in the tail for your skin clip, for easy transition and seamless look.
Comp Series Base:Armada's fastest base for optimal performance at high speeds.
Boots
102mm last: Slightly wider than average to give a great fit for most skiers. This last was designed to fit pretty much everyone, but really wide feet, or the opposite, should look for different lasts more appropriate for their foot types.
4 Flex Tongue: Soft flex – FT's most forgiving adult flex for lighter skiers looking for maximum ankle motion & comfort. You can quickly change your flex by swapping out different # flex tongues (sold separately).
Rigid Boot Board: The Rigid Boot Board provides a firm layer in the bottom of the shell maximizes responsiveness & sensitivity to the snow.
Rubber Heel and Toe: Natural rubber soles on the toe & heel for non-slip walking & hiking that can even be replaced if they wear out.

Ribbed Tongue Design: 100% ribbed tongue enables smoother, more natural linear flex from your shin to your toe. The tongue bends like a flexible straw, never bottoming out while providing smooth rebound. No more shin bang!
Full Tilt Adjustable Flex: The boots flex is rated on a simple scale of 1-10 (10=stiffest). Change a boots flex by simply switching the tongue. (Competitors boots require permanent cutting).
