The 2026 Armada Tantrum 84 Freestyle with L6 bindings is a playful, twin-tip package made for young skiers ready to take on the whole mountain. With durable construction, a forgiving flex, and freestyle DNA, it’s the perfect stepping stone into skiing’s most fun terrain, whether that’s groomers, glades, or the park.

Why we like it:

It’s built tough but skis easy. The Tantrum 84 Freestyle offers kids a real-deal twin-tip feel without overwhelming them, and the skis come mounted right out of the box.

Who it's for:

Young beginner to intermediate skiers looking to progress fast and have fun doing it. Whether they’re carving down greens or hitting their first boxes, this ski is made to support confident growth.

Highlights:

The Tantrum 84 Freestyle features AR Freestyle Rocker for easy turn initiation and catch-free riding, while its hybrid Poplar/Composite core keeps things lightweight and manageable. A 2.5 Impact Edge and S7 base mean it can take a few knocks in the park or trees, and the AR50 Sidewall construction enhances edge grip and energy transfer where it counts. With a symmetrical twin-tip shape and moderate flex pattern, the ski encourages experimentation in all directions. Paired with L6 GripWalk-compatible bindings, the setup is simple, durable, and built with kids in mind.

Things to consider:

This is a youth-focused, entry-level setup. Advanced junior racers or larger skiers may want more stiffness and power underfoot than this ski is designed to deliver.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to size. Choose shorter lengths for quicker learning or longer for added stability.
