It’s all about …
BASICS
Flex
Camber
Radius/Sidecut
LONGITUDINAL FLEX
stiffer or more flexible along its length
depends very much upon the rider and the type of riding
the more aggressively/the faster you ride the stiffer the ski should be
TORSIONAL FLEX
the amount a ski can twist
Stiffness from the riders feet to the contact points
mainly controlled by the materials used in the board
Rocker offers increased float in the powder
Rocker is more maneuverable
normal sized tip and tail the ski becomes extremely
wide at the waist
maximum floatation in extremely deep powder
Powder skis sidecut
CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGYArmada ARG
BASE 50/50
