2026 Armada Stranger 100 Skis
The 2026 Armada Stranger 100 is a boundary-pushing all-mountain ski that blends freestyle creativity with carving precision. Designed to turn the entire mountain into a playground, it offers a unique combination of agility, pop, and versatility.
Why we like it:
The Stranger 100 stands out for its ability to carve confidently on hardpack while still delivering the playful feel needed for butters and side hits. It's a ski that doesn't conform to traditional categories, offering a fresh take on all-mountain performance.
Who it's for:
This ski is ideal for advanced to expert skiers who enjoy a freestyle approach to the mountain but don't want to sacrifice carving performance. It's perfect for those looking to explore creative lines, from groomers to off-piste terrain.
Highlights:
The Stranger 100 features a Poplar Ash core, providing a lively and responsive feel underfoot. Its AR Freestyle Rocker profile combines rockered tips and tails with positive camber underfoot, allowing for both float in variable snow and solid edge hold on firmer conditions. The ski's unique design includes an edgeless tip, reducing swing weight and enhancing buttering capabilities, and a springboard tail that offers energetic rebound. With a 100mm waist and a tight turn radius (15.2m in 172cm, 15.8m in 180cm), the Stranger 100 is quick edge-to-edge and excels in short to medium-radius turns. Armada's AR75 sidewall construction and 2.5 Impact Edge ensure durability and edge grip where it counts. If you like the sound of the Black Crows Mirus Cor but want a wider footprint, the Stranger answers the call.
Things to consider:
While the Stranger 100 is versatile, its unique design may not appeal to traditionalists seeking a conventional carving ski. Additionally, its playful nature might not provide the dampness nor edge grip desired for high-speed stability in variable conditions.
Fit & sizing considerations:
Available in 172cm and 180cm lengths, the Stranger 100 maintains a consistent 100mm waist across sizes. With individual ski weights of approximately 2000g (172cm) and 2100g (180cm), it offers a balanced feel that's both nimble and stable. Due to the philosophy behind the Stranger, it is common practice to size down slightly from your traditional all-mountain ski or size down if between lengths.
