The 2025 Armada Edollo with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings is your ticket to freestyle progression. The Edollo is Henrik Harlaut’s signature ski, and serves as both his daily driver and competition weapon. Built to withstand his high demands, it features a sturdy build with a progressive flex pattern that supports nose butters and provides a solid landing platform in the tails. Its overall stiffness enhances carving ability on trails, making it a versatile choice. We paired the Edollo with the Strive 14 because of this binding’s well known reputation for safety, reliability, and ease of use. Featuring an LDN toe piece that optimizes contact and response, these bindings integrate seamlessly with boots and skis, allowing for a natural flex and balanced stance, making them the perfect choice to pair with this ski.

Why we like it:

The Edollo's stiffness lends itself well to freestyle applications while maintaining versatility across all mountain terrain.

Who it's for:

Intermediate to expert freestyle skiers seeking to advance their skills on a stable and effective platform.

Highlights:

Constructed with a poplar and ash wood core, the ski offers stability, energy, and the necessary pop for freestyle skiing. Its lack of taper in the tips and tails ensures immediate turn initiation and maintains control in challenging conditions. The Strive 14 GW, with its lightweight build and low-profile chassis, delivers a smooth and responsive ride all day long. It remains nimble in deep snow and light on your feet as the day progresses. The LDN Toe Pieces offer a low stand height, optimizing power transfer and improving the connection to your skis. The Automatic Toe Adaption feature effortlessly adjusts to GripWalk boots without the need for manual adjustments. Additionally, the Snow Scrapers on the toe pieces effectively remove snow and ice, ensuring a secure fit that enhances both safety and performance for direct power transmission, and makes for an ideal combo of performance and reliability when paired with the Edollo.

Things to consider:

Due to its stiffness, the Edollo may not be forgiving enough for park beginners or those early in their freestyle progression, potentially penalizing mistakes more severely than other skis.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Limited lengths available; suitable for taller or strong skiers with the 180 cm option.
