Tips for choosing binding positions:
FACTORY
The Factory mounting corresponds to the mark indicated on all Armada skis. It defines the recommended position of the center of your boot for the best all-mountain skiing performance. This positioning offers excellent floatation in deep snow, enhanced stability at high speeds, and very good precision in turns. On the other hand, it makes the ski a little less maneuverable and provides a slightly less balanced feel, especially in the air or when skiing switch.
Who is it for? This setup is for skiers with a traditional stance who ski mainly forward with strong pressure on the shin. It is particularly suitable for piste skiers, speed enthusiasts, and those looking for a directional ski that offers control and power.
FREESTYLE
The Freestyle mark is located further forward on the ski. It is designed for a more playful, freestyle-inspired style. This mounting offers increased maneuverability, a more balanced and natural feel in the air, and greater comfort when skiing switch. However, it slightly reduces lift in powder snow, stability at very high speeds, and carving performance.
Who is it for? It is ideal for skiers who prefer a more creative and freestyle approach, with a centered stance and less pressure on the front of the boot. It is perfect for park skiers and those looking for a fun and versatile ski for all-mountain skiing.
