Locator 96 Skis - 2023/2024

Providing tenacious edge hold and dependable stability while maintaining enough float to surf creamy pow and perfect corn, the Armada Locator 96 skis are ready to take on big descents.

Features

• Progressive shape and blended rocker lines make the Locator 96 a versatile, confident performer in a variety of conditions, from hero snow to refrozen sastrugi
• 96 mm waists quickly get up on edge and bite hard on even the iciest sidehills
• Weight is low enough for the biggest objectives on your tick list
• Forebody rocker and extra tip taper combine to create EST Freeride rocker for optimal float in the soft stuff
• Positive camber underfoot with no tail rocker ensures the skis stay firm when carving is the priority
• Caruba wood cores are light for going up hills but retain the power and dampness required for descending the gnarliest terrain
• Light and strong, the heat-treated 1.7 Lightweight edges affect the feel of the skis minimally to ensure a snappy, lightweight feel
• Comp-series bases feature sintered UHMW polyethylene with added carbon to boost speed and durability in all snow conditions
• Below the binding area, a sandwich of rubber, Titanal® and more rubber work together to damp vibration that otherwise chatters into your boots
• Full-length carbon stringers add pop and stiffness without adding weight
• AR 75 sidewall construction features full ABS sidewalls from the forebody to the aft, with cap construction in the tips and tails to reduce weight
• AR Bat Tails have a self-centering tail-clip design
