About this product
The Armada Reliance 88 C Skis with EM10 Bindings is a women's all-mountain setup built for advanced skiers who want to cover the full mountain without carrying unnecessary weight. At the heart of the ski is Armada's Caruba Core, described as their lightest wood core, reinforced with carbon laminates that contribute to a responsive, energetic feel underfoot. The 88mm waist width sits in a versatile sweet spot, capable on groomed runs while remaining nimble in tighter terrain. AR100 sidewalls add durability and edge engagement, while the 2.1 All Mountain Edge supports confident grip across varying snow conditions. The EST All Mountain Rocker profile features rocker with tapered sidecuts for smooth turn initiation and easy maneuverability. Flex ratings of 7 at the tip, 8 through the mid-section, and 7 at the tail give the ski a supportive but forgiving character. The Comp Series sintered UHMW polyethylene base, with added carbon, rounds out a well-considered package available in a 176cm length.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Armada Reliance 88 C + EM10 as a lightweight, approachable all-mountain ski that excels in versatility and playfulness. Its Caruba (or Poplar, in newer versions) wood core with woven carbon stringers earns repeated praise for keeping the ski nimble and easy to maneuver, making it a strong fit for intermediate to advancing skiers on groomers, bumps, and light off-piste terrain. The most common criticism is a lack of stability and quickness at higher speeds, with expert testers noting it ranks near the bottom of its category for stability at speed and edge engagement. Reviewers also flag limited flotation in deeper snow. Aggressive or advanced skiers are generally pointed toward the Titanal versions of the Reliance line instead.
