Armada Locator 88 30473016

Description

The Armada Locator 88 is a mid-fat touring ski built for skiers who want to venture beyond groomers without sacrificing on-piste performance. It’s designed to handle a variety of snow conditions, making it a versatile choice for those who split their time between uphill skin tracks and downhill exploration.

With an 88 mm waist, the Locator 88 strikes a balance between flotation in softer snow and agility on harder surfaces. At 172 cm, its 21 m radius offers a blend of stability at speed and responsiveness in tighter turns. The flat binding mounting pattern lets you select and position your own bindings to match your preferred setup and riding style.

The sidecut dimensions—117 mm at the tip, 88 mm underfoot and 109 mm at the tail—shape how the ski performs: the wider tip helps initiate turns and stay afloat in deeper snow, the narrower waist provides solid edge hold on firm terrain, and the broader tail aids in smooth turn releases. The 21 m radius describes the curvature of the ski’s edges, indicating it’s tuned for medium-radius turns that work equally well on groomers and varied off-piste lines.
