2026 Armada Declivity X 108 Skis
The 2026 Armada Declivity X 108 is a big-mountain freeride ski designed for aggressive skiers who demand stability and power at high speeds. With a 108 mm waist and a directional shape, it excels in variable snow conditions and steep terrain, offering a confident and responsive ride for directional freeride skiers.
Why we like it:
The Declivity X 108 stands out for its ability to maintain composure at high velocities while still allowing for playful maneuvers, making it a versatile choice for expert skiers who are pushing the limit.
Who it's for:
Ideal for advanced to expert skiers who prioritize speed, stability, and precision in challenging conditions, and who seek a ski that can handle big lines and aggressive turns.
Highlights:
Constructed with a full Poplar Core and reinforced with ATB-X Titanal layers, the Declivity X 108 delivers a damp and powerful feel underfoot. The EST Freeride Rocker profile features a rockered tip for floatation in soft snow and positive camber underfoot for edge hold on firmer terrain. The AR100 Sidewall ensures maximum torsional rigidity and edge grip, while the 2.1 All Mountain Edge and Comp Series Base provide durability and speed. With a turn radius ranging from 22 to 26 meters, depending on length, the ski is designed for long, fast turns and stability in variable conditions.
Things to consider:
The Declivity X 108's stiff flex and longer turn radius may not be suitable for skiers who prefer tight, quick turns or a more forgiving ride. Its performance shines at higher speeds and in open terrain, potentially making it less ideal for tight trees or moguls.
Fit & sizing considerations:
Skis true to size. Since it is a big mountain freeride ski intended for softer snow, sizing up slightly for aggressive expert skiers is common practice but if less aggressive or less experienced, sizing down slightly is recommended.
