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 edge hold on firmer terrain. Its ultralight Caruba core is designed to balance the efficiency demands of alpine touring with the stability needed for aggressive downhill riding, and sandwich construction with AR75 sidewalls adds precision and grip underfoot. The AR Freestyle Rocker profile (rocker at both tip and tail with a cambered midsection) delivers a surfy feel while maintaining drive through turns. Smear Tech beveling in the tips and tails makes pivoting and slarving accessible, and the twin-tip shape opens up switch riding and freestyle lines. Lightweight 1.7mm steel edges keep swing weight low, and the Comp Series sintered base handles speed and durability on big mountain terrain. Available in 175cm (1700g per ski, 17m radius), 185cm (1800g, 18m), and 192cm (1920g, 19m). 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.
