{"product_id":"2027-armada-antimatter-82-skis-ra0000886","title":"2027 Armada Antimatter 82 Skis","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2027 Armada AntiMatter 82 is the dedicated frontside weapon of the AntiMatter Series, built for high-speed carving and hard edge angles. With a Titanal-laminate construction and an 82-mm waist, it's a focused tool for skiers who want to lay deep, fast trenches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe damping is the standout. The Titanal layup combined with the ATB Articulated Titanal Banding makes this ski feel almost glued to the snow at speed, with a smooth, quiet ride that holds an edge through anything. It's a ski that rewards full commitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdvanced and expert skiers who want a serious frontside carver with a small bit of off-trail capability. Ideal for hard-charging skiers, dedicated carvers, and anyone who wants premium groomer performance with the option to step off-trail occasionally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eATB Articulated Titanal Banding is the headline tech. It combines a layer of Titanal with strategically placed carbon reinforcement that brings damping and snap together rather than making you choose. The Poplar core gives the ski liveliness and pop, the All-Mtn Rocker profile keeps tip rocker for off-trail capability and minimal tail rocker for clean edge release, and the All Mountain Edge balances durability and feel. The Comp Series Base is a sintered UHMW with added carbon for glide and durability, and AR100 sidewalls finish off a build that's clearly focused on hard, precise carving while leaving the door open for the occasional off-trail run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThings to consider:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 82-mm waist and frontside-leaning rocker profile make this a focused tool. It's not meant for daily off-trail skiing, and powder days will feel like a stretch. Skiers who want a more versatile all-mountain ski should look at the AntiMatter 88 or 92 instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; sizing considerations:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkis true to length. Stick to your usual frontside length.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Armada","offers":[{"title":"166","offer_id":51717755470120,"sku":"RA0000886|166","price":749.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"174","offer_id":51717755502888,"sku":"RA0000886|174","price":749.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"182","offer_id":51717755535656,"sku":"RA0000886|182","price":749.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/2027-armada-antimatter-82-skis-ra0000886-1-ra0000886.jpg?v=1778769534","url":"https:\/\/checkout.skiessentials.com\/products\/2027-armada-antimatter-82-skis-ra0000886","provider":"Ski Essentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
