2027 Armada Antimatter 88 W Skis with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings

The 2027 Armada AntiMatter 88 W with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is the light, snappy women's frontside ski in the new AntiMatter Series, with all-mountain versatility folded in. A carbon-reinforced build keeps it quick and responsive, while just enough rocker at each end lets it wander off the groomers and still cover the rest of the hill. We paired the Antimatter 88 W with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.

Why we like it:

Liveliness like this is uncommon in a frontside ski carrying real structure. Carbon lets it dart from edge to edge with barely any effort and rebound out of turns with energy to spare, carving like a frontside ski yet playing like something more flexible.

Who it's for:

Strong, advanced-to-expert women skiers who want a lively, carve-first all-mountain ride will find this one aimed squarely at them. It is happiest with skiers who spend most days on the groomers but still want the freedom to dip into chopped-up snow or a soft off-trail run when the mood strikes.

Highlights:

At 88 mm underfoot it stays precise, and with carbon doing the structural work in place of titanal, the 88 W feels quick and energetic, flicking between edges easily and springing forward out of each turn. A Poplar core keeps the feel lively and even. All-Mtn Rocker raises the tip for soft snow while keeping tail rocker slight for a clean release, and the durability package, All Mountain Edges with a carbon-laced Comp Series Base, balances toughness against feel. AR100 sidewalls support a build that prizes edge hold above all. With a low stand height of just 17 millimeters, the 2027 Tyrolia Attack 14 offers an impressively close connection to the snow, delivering precise power transmission and a confident, locked-in feel. The FR Pro3 toe piece allows for a full 180 degrees of boot release, enhancing safety in a variety of fall scenarios, while the AFS (Anti-Friction Slider) ensures reliable re-centering and consistent release characteristics. Built to withstand hard use, the Attack 14 combines durability with performance, making it a go-to option for aggressive skiers who demand trust in their gear.

Things to consider:

Its narrow waist and carve-leaning shape favor trail and frontside skiing over off-trail. Women who spend most of their time in soft snow will be better matched to a wider AntiMatter or an ARW.

Fit & sizing considerations:

It sizes true, making your everyday frontside or all-mountain length the safe pick.
