2023 Armada Declivity 88 C Skis

The Armada Declivity 88 C Skis get their “Vitamin C” from carbon stringers that run the full length of the ski. The Declivity 88 C has a surprising amount of power and energy to it, at a light weight, and with an appropriate amount of versatility built in to appeal to a wide range of skiers. This 88-millimeter waisted shape of ski certainly checks a lot of boxes for eastern skiers, but it’s also quite versatile for the western skier looking for a lower-snow type of ski as well. A Caruba and Polar wood core lined with carbon stringers bring a lively and energetic feel to this ski while the deep sidecut and full sidewall construction provide phenomenal edge hold and durability. This ski is much more than a frontside cruiser. Thanks to the all-mountain rocker and its light wood core, the Declivity 88 C would be a phenomenal choice as a ski with which you could venture off-piste and get into the trees and bumps. The maneuverable nature of the Declivity 88 C in combination with its all-mountain shape can certainly handle a bit of soft snow when needed. When it comes down to it, a lot of us want a ski that can hold a good edge on firm snow, but not all of us want to work so hard to get our skis to do what we want them to do. That’s what makes the Armada Declivity 88 C Skis so appealing to intermediates and expert skiers alike.
