A mix of carving, freestyle and freeride characteristics. Armada's new ski "Stranger" was born under this concept.

L = 172, 180cm D = 139-100-121 (180)
R = 15.8m (180) W = 2100g (180) 90,000 yen + tax
The literal translation is "stranger" which means "change thing".
This ski has a core that combines light poplar with dense ash stringers. With a waist width of 100 mm and a deep side cut, the nose features a straight tapered edgeless butter zone, and a springboard tail with an easy-to-pop rocker. have.
These allow for easy turns and control.
The deep sidecurves make it easier to introduce turns, and the softer flex makes it easier to finish later in the turn. The nose has the same design as Armada's famous "JJ", so it has more than enough buoyancy in powder. “Never before have skis that have high carving performance and yet glide in powder so easily. Normally, when skiing on new snow with deep side curves, the skis tend to get caught and are hard to slip, but this ski has a nose and tail. The rocker is exquisitely made and slippery.”
We want you to experience the unique all-round ski proposed by a long-established freeski brand.
