Armada was born to challenge the status quo. At The Drop, we carry Armada because they remain the most creative force in the sport. What started as a collective of park skiers has evolved into a complete mountain ecosystem—from all-mountain chargers and powder-specific twins to high-performance boots and technical 3L outerwear.
The Evolution: Antimatter Series & ARV Twins
The most significant move for the current season is the arrival of the Antimatter collection. Replacing the Declivity and Reliance lines, Antimatter is designed for the hard-charging directional skier who refuses to lose that "Armada feel." Utilizing Speedmetal—a strategically shaped Titanal laminate—these skis offer rock-solid stability and vibration dampening for carving and big-mountain lines while maintaining a loose, maneuverable tail for technical terrain. For the freestyle loyalists, the ARV and ARW series continue to dominate with w3Dgewall construction, ensuring legendary durability on rails and massive jump lines.
Armada AR One: A New Era of Footwear
Armada has officially entered the hardware market with the AR One ski boot. This isn't just another boot; it’s a Hybrid Cabrio masterpiece that delivers a progressive flex for freestyle maneuvers while maintaining 4-buckle precision for high-speed arcs. Featuring the unique Slingshot Buckle for elite heel-hold and a Kush Damping bootboard to absorb heavy impacts, the AR One is the premier choice for modern freeskiing athletes.
Powder Icons: Whitewalker & The Stranger
When the snow gets deep, the Whitewalker series (the pro model for Sammy Carlson) remains the gold standard for surfy, lightweight performance in the backcountry. For the creative all-mountain rider, The Stranger continues to be a cult favorite—blending a carving sidecut with a buttery freestyle flex to make even the flattest days a blast.
