Imagine standing at a high mountain pass, the crisp air biting just a little, miles of untracked powder stretching below, beckoning. That's the exact scenario where the Armada Locator 96, paired with the versatile Shift 10 Demo binding, truly comes alive at 164cm. Crafted for the relentless pursuit of untouched lines, its lightweight Caruba core makes the ascent feel less like a chore and more like a focused climb toward your next objective. Yet, don't mistake its uphill prowess for any compromise on the way down; the innovative Articulated Titanal Banding delivers a remarkably damp, powerful ride, silencing chatter through variable snow and giving you confident edge hold when conditions demand surgical precision. Whether navigating technical descents or carving broad, stable turns through fresh snow, this ski remains nimble and responsive thanks to its EST Freeride Rocker and directional sidecut, inviting you to push beyond the usual limits. The integrated Shift 10 Demo binding offers supreme adjustability for dialing in your stance or sharing the stoke, making this an ideal setup for exploring vast, demanding terrain with unwavering confidence.
