The Armada Stranger 100 is a directional freestyle ski built for skiers who want a playful, surfy feel without committing to a full twin-tip park ski. Designed to bring creativity back to groomers, side hits, and natural features, it blends a loose, expressive ride with enough stability to stay confident at speed. A lightweight poplar core keeps the ski lively and easy to flick around, while a directional shape with a wider shovel encourages slashes, butters, and smooth turn transitions. The camber-underfoot profile provides grip and energy on hardpack, while the tapered tip and tail make the Stranger easy to pivot and smear when conditions soften. With a versatile waist and a design that prioritises flow over force, the Stranger thrives on playful skiing across the whole mountain. Unique, intuitive, and fun-first, it’s a standout choice for skiers who want to ski differently and make every run their own. Features Poplar Ash CoreLightweight Poplar is combined with higher density full-length Ash stringers to create an incredibly lively and poppy ski. 2.5 Impact EdgeOversided and specially heat treated, this edge is supremely durable and built to resist impact damage Springboard TailCalculated design in the tail provides maximum energy feedback for unique rebound and presses.
