Armada Antimatter 100 W | 2027

The brand-new Antimatter line from Armada is the result of direct feedback from the brand's athletes, especially Max Palm. The Antimatter series blends directional stability with Armada's freestyle DNA to create a directional freeride ski that's still made to jib. This lady commands your immediate attention with a shape that instantly grabs hold when laid on edge. As the speedometer climbs, there's little chatter to be found thanks to a sturdy wood and metal core. The shape and composition provide a strong platform for skiing through variable, off-piste snow with confidence.

This ski isn't meant to be a direct replacement for the very directional Declivity line, but rather an evolution. The 100 w has a much more playful rocker profile, particularly in the tail, which provides an easier turn release for quick directional changes in tight terrain. At 100 mm underfoot, it's right at home busting up resort crud, dropping cliffs, throwing tricks and wreaking havoc in every secret stash. This ski fits perfectly in the firm snow freeride category and pairs well with a skier who stares down big lines but desires a tool that pops and smears as well as it turns.
