About this product

The Armada Whitewalker 116 is a 2026 freeride and powder ski built around a 116mm waist that promotes float in deep snow without sacrificing control on the way back out. Its ultralight Caruba core keeps the ski touring-friendly while still delivering the stiffness needed for aggressive downhill performance. A rocker-camber-rocker profile, marketed as AR Freestyle Rocker, blends surfy tip and tail float with camber-driven grip underfoot. Smear Tech beveling in the tips and tails makes pivoting and slarving low-effort, and the twin-tip construction opens up switch riding and freestyle terrain. AR75 sidewalls add precision and edge hold, while 1.7 lightweight steel edges trim swing weight without sacrificing grip. The Comp Series sintered base rounds out the package with durability and speed. Available in 175, 185, and 192cm lengths, with sidecut dimensions of roughly 138 to 140mm at the tip, 116mm at the waist, and 134.5 to 136mm at the tail. Claimed per-ski weight starts at 1700g for the 175cm. Bindings are not included.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the Armada Whitewalker 116 for its exceptionally surfy, playful feel in deep powder, calling it one of the most unique ride experiences on the market. Its lightweight Caruba wood core earns strong marks for uphill touring performance, and the stiff tail is widely noted for reliability when landing airs or slashing at speed. The twin-tip, pin-tip design and Smear Tech construction make it a standout for backcountry freestyle skiing, spinning, buttering, and switch performance. The most common criticism is its narrow use case: reviewers note it struggles in chopped-up or heavy snow, lacks the mass to push through variable conditions, and can feel less predictable for skiers accustomed to directional shapes. It is widely described as a specialty deep-powder tool rather than a versatile all-mountain ski.
