About this product
The Armada Reliance 88 C skis paired with EM10 bindings offer a capable all-mountain setup designed for intermediate to advanced women skiers. Built around Armada's Caruba Core, the lightest wood core in their lineup, the ski keeps weight low while carbon reinforcement laminates add responsiveness and energy underfoot. The 88mm waist width strikes a practical balance between groomed-run precision and off-piste versatility, making it equally at home on packed corduroy and through tighter tree terrain. A Rocker/Camber/Rocker profile using the EST All Mountain Rocker with tapered sidecuts promotes easy turn initiation and smooth edge-to-edge transitions. Flex ratings of 7 at the tip, 8 through the mid, and 7 at the tail give the ski a supportive yet forgiving character. AR100 sidewalls contribute to solid edge hold, while the sintered UHMW polyethylene Comp Series base, reinforced with carbon, delivers durable glide. The 2.1 All Mountain Edge rounds out a well-considered package priced at $539.97 CAD.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Armada Reliance 88 C for its lightweight, approachable feel and impressive versatility across groomed runs, bumps, and variable terrain. The caruba (or poplar) wood core paired with woven carbon stringers earns repeated credit for making the ski feel nimble, playful, and easy to maneuver, with solid edge grip on hardpack. Intermediate to advanced skiers appreciate how forgiving and confidence-inspiring it is, with a smooth, predictable ride that holds up well in mixed conditions. The most common criticism is that the lightweight, metal-free construction limits quickness and stability at higher speeds, making it less suited for aggressive, charging skiers who want a more powerful, responsive feel.
