2017 Armada Al Dente Zero Collection Skis

Call to order all Armada Zero Collection Skis

Don't call it a comeback - the Al Dente skis are built on the Edollo's chassis, but an additional carbon fiber layer brings amped-up performance. Just like it's alter ego, the Edollo, the Al Dente is ready to butter, smear, press and gap its way around the entire mountain.

Fans or Armada and/or Henrik Harlaut will recall the original incarnation of his pro model, the Al Dente. This season, as a nod to their ground-breaking design and heritage as the world’s foremost freeski brand, Armada have re-released it in the form of the 2017 Armada Al Dente Zero. Built on the same chassis as the Edollo but with an additional layer of carbon fiber for super-charged performance. Like its alter ego, the Edollo, the Al Dente is ready to butter, slash, press and jib its way around the entire mountain.

Only Armada’s most iconic skis have made it into the Zero Collection. Created exclusively for core skiers and sold only by Armada’s most valued retailers, the Zero Collection features exclusive colorways, details and premium construction not seen anywhere else in the Armada line. You won’t find these anywhere else in the UK as Freeze have exclusivity on the entire collection.

The 2017 Armada Al Dente Zero is built around Armada’s Power-lite core, a 100% full wood construction, fine-tuned with hardwood stringers, resulting in increased tip-to-tail power transfer without becoming aggressive and unmanageable.

The AR nose rocker blends reverse camber in the nose with traditional positive camber underfoot and through the tail. This helps to provide float in powder while retaining edge hold, drive and control on hardpack. It also has the added benefit of raising the ski’s contact points which reduces the chance of catching your edges and making those nose-butters that Henrik’s renowned for even easier.

The AR50 Sidewall is comprised of cap construction in the tip and tail with full sidewall underfoot. This helps to balance performance with reduced swing-weight and increased durability. The capped construction of the nose and tail offer increased flexibility meaning that the ski is more relaxed upon entry and exit of turns. This works in unison with the full ABS sidewall underfoot which holds the edge and remains confident throughout the turn.

The over-built 2.2mm Impact Edge is heat treated for increased strength and durability without becoming overweight and cumbersome, meaning it can take more abuse from tree trunks or unseen rocks without resulting in an edge buckle or worse, a blowout.

The 2017 Armada Al Dente Zero benefits from super-charged performance thanks to Carbon/Kevlar struts, alternating stringers of carbon fiber and high tensile Kevlar, which increase response, improve power transfer, add pop and extend the life of the ski.

Armada’s Carbon Fiber layup is woven through the core of the ski to create torsional stiffness for increased edge-to-edge power transfer without compromising tip-to-tail flex or adding additional weight.

Topped off with Armada’s S7 Base, a highly durable and low maintenance sintered base with a speed additive that gives you a touch more throttle for boosting kickers.
