Brand new for 2025, the Armada Declivity X 102 brings a completely new construction to a proven shape, adding some big mountain capabilities to an narrower, all-mountain chassis. Excelling in a variety of conditions, the Declivity X 102 delivers incredible stability and energy to an all-mountain format, but with a freeride flare. Transforming from a frontside carver to a backside freeride ski in an instant.

Why we like it:

The new construction coupled with the previously proven shape makes this ski an incredible carver on trail but with the new construction, it feels floatier and more drifty when taken into softer snow.

Who it's for:

Well established in the advanced to expert realm of skiers due to its stiffness and weight.

Highlights:

The new poplar wood core coupled with the revised Articulated Titanal Banding technology give this ski unrival energy and pop while also giving it loads of stability and carving performance. The main highlight here is its versatility in switching from a frontside carver to a surfy soft snow ski.

Things to consider:

Less aggressive skiers would have a tough time extracting performance from this burly ski. Intermediates who are looking for a wider freeride ski will have some other better choices.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to size.
