Armada Whitewalker 116 Skis 2026
Sammy’s daily driver, the Whitewalker 116 is built to let Sammy do what he does best. The powder-focused twin tip doubles as a deep-snow freestyle ski and a big-mountain charger with a playful character. Light enough to hike with, stout enough to send on.
Features
- AR Freestyle Rocker – Rockered tips and tails are 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. Turn the whole mountain into your playground.
- Flex (1=Soft, 10=Stiff) – Tip = 7, Waist = 9, Tail = 8
- Pin Tip and Tail
- 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 for ultralight performance.
- AR75 Sidewall – Sidewalls provide improved edge pressure under the boot, while cap construction in the tip and tail provides smooth turn initiation and less hookiness - 75% sidewall, 25% cap.
- Comp Series Base – Sintered UHMW polyethylene with added carbon aids in speed and durability on snow.
- 1.7 Lightweight Edge – Light and strong, these heat-treated edges effect the feel of the ski minimally to ensure a snappy, lightweight feel.
- Smear Tech – A 3D beveled base in the tip and tail creates a unique feel in all snow conditions. Less likely to catch in crud, self-centering in deep snow, and uncatchable on takeoffs, Smear Tech lets you float effortlessly whether sliding forwards, backwards, left, or right.
