Armada ANTIMATTER 88 Skis

The Armada ANTIMATTER 88 is an all-mountain alpine ski designed for advanced to expert skiers seeking responsiveness and versatility beyond groomed runs. With a waist width of 88 mm, it strikes the perfect balance between on-piste precision and the ability to venture off-piste. Responsive from edge to edge and reinforced with carbon, it offers a controlled balance between stability and playfulness. This ski is for those who want to improve their skills on varied terrain without sacrificing carving precision.

A performance- and precision-oriented all-mountain ski

The Armada ANTIMATTER 88 ski is designed for versatile skiing, with a clear focus on on-piste performance and responsiveness in mixed terrain. Its sidecut of 131/88/112 mm gives it a sleek profile—narrow enough to bite effectively into hard snow, yet wide enough to handle groomed slopes or light off-piste conditions with ease. With a turning radius of 17.2 m for the 176 cm length, it facilitates medium-radius turns that are precise and aggressive, well-suited for dynamic skiing on blue to black runs. The edge-to-edge response is direct, making it particularly well-suited for advanced to expert skiers accustomed to technical and aggressive skiing.

Rocker/Camber/Rocker profile for balanced performance

The profile of the Armada ANTIMATTER 88 ski is based on a Rocker/Camber/Rocker combination, known as All-Mountain Rocker. The central camber ensures grip and pressure transfer on hard snow, an essential condition for precise carving. The rocker zones at the tip and tail make it easier to initiate turns and improve the ski’s performance in variable snow conditions or light off-piste terrain by limiting the nose-dive effect. This hybrid profile allows you to transition from a groomed run to a couloir of fresh snow without having to fundamentally change your skiing style.

Construction: poplar core and carbon reinforcements

The ski’s construction is based on a poplar wood core, known for its good balance between lightness and shock absorption. This core is combined with carbon reinforcements that increase the ski’s torsional stiffness and responsiveness without adding significant weight. The weight of 1,675 g per ski for the 176 cm length falls within a reasonable range for a technical all-mountain ski. The Comp Series Base, made of sintered UHMW with added carbon, contributes to glide and durability. The AR100 Sidewall and carefully engineered edge angles—1.3° at the base and 87.5° laterally—round out a design focused on grip and precision.

The Armada ANTIMATTER 88, formerly known as the Declivity 88 C, is suited for advanced to expert skiers who primarily ski on alpine skis in varied terrain, from black runs to occasional off-piste skiing. Its 88 mm waist width, hybrid profile, and carbon construction make it a precise and responsive ski, available in lengths of 168, 176, and 184 cm to suit different body types and skiing styles.
