Armada Reliance 102 Ti Skis - Women's 2023
Model Info
Product Info
The Titanal-infused Reliance series takes over where the Victa left off, and the Armada Reliance 102 Ti Skis are ready to run with it. Armada keeps the weight down by using a Caruba wood core in concert with the Articulated Titanal Band construction, and the EST Freeride Rocker provides the ideal balance between flotation in fresh snow and control on firmer surfaces.
Product Details
Rocker Type
EST Freeride Rocker – Forebody rocker and extra tip-taper combine to create EST for optimized float in the soft stuff. Positive camber underfoot ensures these skis stay on rails when carving is the priority.
Flex
Flex (1=Soft, 10=Stiff) – Tip: 7 | Mid: 8 | Tail: 5
Core
Caruba Core – Armada's lightest wood species keeps the overall weight low while retaining the power and dampness you want while skiing.
Laminates
Articulated Titanal Banding – Titanal adds horsepower and strength, while an Elastic Compound Layer allows the ski to enter the turn with ease, compressing and releasing more energy than a traditional Ti layer.
Sidewalls
AR50 Sidewalls – Cap construction in the tip and tail and sidewall underfoot, balancing performance characteristics with lower swing-weight and increased durability.
Base
Comp Series Base – Sintered UHMW polyethylene with added carbon aids in speed and durability
Edges
2.1 All Mountain Edge
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
