You know a company like Armada couldn’t just make a standard issue touring ski without putting their own twist on it. The all-new Locator series brings Armada’s special blend of freestyle heritage and creative style to the ultralight touring market, and the outcome is something special. The Armada Locator 96 Skis are the most traditional touring skis in the series, with a sub 100 waist width and a respectably airy 1350 gram weight. But those techy uphill numbers are paired with smooth lines and tapered tips to make for a ski you can count on for long, technical missions without sacrificing any fun on the descents. Plus, they’re unisex and come in two color options: so you can pick what’s best for your style and stature.
              Â
Rocker Type
      Â
   EST Freeride Rocker–        Forebody rocker and extra tip taper combine to create EST for optimized float in the soft stuff. Positive camber under foot with no tail rocker ensures these skis stay on rails when carving is the priority.
      Â
Flex
      Â
   Flex (1=Soft, 10=Stiff)–        Tip: 5 | Mid: 6 | Tail: 6
      Â
Core
      Â
   Caruba Core–        Armada’s lightest wood species creates the best uphill feel while retaining the power and dampness required for descending in the gnarliest of terrain. This core makes no concessions in its quest to be ultralight.
      Â
Laminates
      Â
   TI Binding Dampener–        Below the binding, a sandwich of rubber, titanal, and finally more rubber works to dampen vibration that otherwise chatters into your bots and shortens your day. Ski bell to bell with extra damping provided.
      Â
      Â
   Carbon Reinforcement–        Specially placed carbon stringers add pop and stiffness without adding weight.
      Â
Base
      Â
   Comp Series Base–        Sintered UHMW polyethylene with added carbon aids in speed and durability on snow.
      Â
Edges
      Â
   1.7 Lightweight Edge–        Light and strong, these heat-treated edges effect the feel of the ski minimally to ensure a snappy, lightweight feel.
      Â
Additional Features
      Â
   AR Bat Tail Self Center Tail Clip Design
      Â
Binding Compatibility
      Â
   We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

-    Terrain:    Alpine Touring                                    Alpine TouringAlso known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.           Â
