2023 Armada Declivity 92 Ti Skis

The Armada Declivity 92 Ti Skis offering a tremendous amount of versatility and carving power, all while adhering to Armada’s philosophy that skiing should be fun. Built with a Caruba wood core, Armada adds triaxially braided fiberglass and their Articulated Titanal Banding. They mill out sections in the forebody of the ski, including in the Titanal laminate, and they replace it with a more elastic polymer. This makes the ski flex appropriately both torsionally and longitudinally. As a result, the ski initiates turns easily and quickly, but the ski won’t dive in fresh or deep snow either. It’s a great blend of power and playfulness, and it certainly works. The Declivity 92 Ti is going up against some heavy hitters in the ever popular 90’s waist width category with its metal construction and focus on stability, power, and edge grip. Armada is doing it their own way, however, which sets the Declivity apart from other skis in this crowded and competitive field. The wood core in the Declivity is pretty light, which definitely helps. The flex pattern also isn’t jarringly stiff. You never really feel like you’re fighting the ski. Just roll it up on edge, and it makes responsive, round, clean turns. The Armada Declivity 92 Ti Skis maneuver through moguls and trees better than heavier skis in their category, but still has that damp, quiet characteristic that comes along with metal which will appeal to advanced skiers across the globe.
