Armada Alpha 1 Skis 2009: Armada’s patent pending Elf Shoe Tech—it's not just for fat skis anymore! The concept behind the design that makes the ARG and the JJ so versatile has been brought to its logical conclusion in the new Alpha 1. The Armada Alpha 1 ski is the first park ski to incorporate the extended tip and tail profile of powder skis. This construction dramatically enhances the Alpha 1 ski’s ability to butter jumps, press rails, and also allows this hardcore park ski to perform better in softer snow than ever before. In ski design terms, the era of reversed camber, variable sidecut skis was in its infancy. With the Alpha 1, the evolution of skiing has begun. Snag a pair of the Armada Alpha 1 skis today and start showing everyone on the slopes what survival of the fittest really means.
Product Details
AR Core 2
The benefit of Armada’s latest wood selection really shine in the AR Core 2. They redistributed the ultra-light wood laminates without the heavier AR Core 1 center laminate. The end result of this laminate configuration is a durable ski with considerably lighter swing and total weight.
AR 50 Sidewall
ABS Sidewall meets Cap Construction-the best of both worlds. These capped skis are reinforced along the effective sidecut area with ABS material for maximum edge hold. This produces remarkable sidewall edge hold while significantly lowering swing and overall weight. The AR Fifty construction method is used exclusively on Armada’s patent-pending, rockered, sidecut-within-reverse sidecut ARG and JP vs. Julien models.
2.5 Impact Edge
This edge exists for one reason-it’s durable. It’s designed to resist breaking and tearing out from rock, rail, and whatever other abuse it might meet.
Comp Series Base
This World-Cup inspired competition race base is made for speed. Its high maintenance and designed for controlled environmental conditions like its race brethren.

Terrain
Park & Pipe Park and pipe skis, often called freestyle skis, are for skiers who spend the majority of their time on jumps, rails, and jibs of all kinds. Traditionally park and pipe skis have narrower waists with full camber profiles, but this category is incorporating more rocker patterns and different shapes. You will almost always find these skis with twin tips as well as other park specific features like thicker, more durable edges, dense extruded bases, and butter zones.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker

Rocker Type
Rocker Rocker (also called reverse-camber) is just as it sounds – camber turned upside down. Rocker skis have a side profile with a smooth downward curvature and a contact point at the middle of the ski. Rocker skis excel in deep powder. This profile provides the skis with less tip and tail hang up to prevent from catching edges and allows the skis to initiate turns extremely quickly. This profile doesn’t perform as well in icy conditions or on harder snow but if you spend lots of time in deep, untracked snow and like a more playful ski, Rocker is a great choice.

Tail Type:
Full Twin Tip

Tail Type
Full Twin Tip Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
