2026 Armada Tantrum 92 Freeride Skis
The 2026 Armada Tantrum 92 is a youth freeride ski built for the next generation of all-mountain rippers. Designed to keep pace with full-throttle young skiers, it brings the float, flex, and durability needed to charge all over the hill, whether that’s groomers, trees, or pow.
Why we like it:
It’s a real-deal freeride ski scaled down for groms, blending playful flex with surprisingly solid performance and long-term durability.
Who it's for:
Ideal for lightweight skiers pushing their boundaries in all types of terrain, the Tantrum 92 is best suited for strong intermediates to junior experts with a taste for speed, steeps, and soft snow.
Highlights:
With a molded hybrid core and EST Freeride Rocker, the Tantrum 92 balances playfulness and stability. Long, low rocker lines and taper allow for smooth float and nimble pivoting, while the W3Dgewall construction and 2.1 All-Mountain edges ensure this ski holds up to daily abuse from aggressive young skiers. Whether it’s railing turns on groomers or dipping into off-piste lines, this ski is ready to roll.
Things to consider:
This is a freeride-focused ski and may be too wide or demanding for newer skiers or those mostly sticking to hardpack. Lighter kids still mastering basic carving might benefit from something narrower and more traditional.
Fit & sizing considerations:
Skis true to size. With a balanced flex across the length and a relatively soft tip and tail, it offers solid feedback without overpowering lighter skiers. Those prioritizing maneuverability can size down; more confident riders can size up for added float and stability.
