Description
When Travis Steeger’s "Sponsor Me" video
made the rounds in the office at Armada, it was met with unanimous
acclaim. It stars a skier with undeniable skill, an ear to ear smile,
and a contagious love for skiing and snow. Watching it provides the
viewer with a palpable connection to Travis, his love of skiing, and his
desire to explore the mountains and make turns wherever possible.
Travis was only starting this exploration in skiing when his life was
tragically cut short. Yet in this minimal time his energy and desire to
explore helped shape this ski.
The TST is an all-mountain/big-mountain tool designed to let you
explore the entire mountain; air the biggest cliffs, ski the deepest
pow, and straight-line the steepest lines. With Armada’s Patented EST
All Mountain Rocker that boasts a progressive tip rocker and no tail
rocker, there isn’t a turn or jump on the mountain the TST can’t
make. This is the ski Travis was asking us to make for his every day ski
at his home mountain of Whitewater BC. So next time you find yourself
in the middle of a great day, or on a perfect run, or are just
surrounded by all your friends; un-zip your coat, smile from ear to ear,
and giv’er for Travis. A portion of the proceeds of this ski are
donated to Travis Steeger’s Memorial Fund and the "Avalanche Awareness
Beyond the Boundaries Society", which provides free avalanche skills
training courses for youth.

AR50 Sidewall 
AR50 Sidewall
ABS sidewall meets cap construction - the best of both
worlds. This engineering method combines the lightweight cap
construction in the tip and tail with ABS sidewall underfoot, resulting
in enhanced edgehold and significantly lower swing and overall weight.

Hybrid UltraLight Core
Hybrid UltraLight Core
Using select 375kg/m3 wood stringers that have unusually high
strength-to-weight ratios, UltraLight cores allow our widest skis to
maintain a light-yet-stable feel.
-
EST Freeride Rocker
EST Freeride Rocker
The best of all worlds. Rockered tips and tails combined with
positive camber underfoot to promote flotation in soft snow and provide
remarkable edge control in the harder stuff.

50/50 Base
50/50 Base
As the name implies, the 50/50 is faster than the S7 and more
rugged than the Comp Series.

CK Stringer
CK Stringer
A blend of Carbon/Kevlar stringers that run along the tail of
the skis to help stabilize it. This creates a better landing platform,
especially when your weight is further back than intended. It also
increases snap and adds pop to ollies .

Laminate Matrix
Laminate Matrix
We know from the core out exactly how each ski should react,
so three kinds of fiberglass laminates are used in combination to
deliver the exact amount of flex and torsional rigidity. Bi-axial
fiberglass runs in an "x" pattern down the ski to control lateral flex.
Uni-directional fiberglass controls flex along the length of the ski.
And tri-axial fiberglass, with fibers running in three directions, beefs
up the center of the ski. The permutations of the three fiberglasses
are nearly limitless and allow us to precision tune the performance of
every ski we make.

1.7 Impact Edge
1.7 Impact Edge
The edge height and width is deliberately smaller and the
steel is heat-treated to a proprietary hardness to increase durability
and decrease weight.
