This always seems to happen to me at the on snow demos, The last ski that I try on the last day turns out to be my favorite. I had time for two runs with the Armada ANT and I loved it. Big and fat, the ANT was incredibly stable in the crud that we were skiing in at Snowbasin, Utah. I was actually filming one of our team members as he tried his best to shake me off his tail as we ripped through gulleys and pukka brush. The ANT performed flawlessly especially as we transitioned from powder to crud to groomer. This could easily be my everyday ski. Wish I had more time with the Armada ANT.

Dislikes

No real dislikes on the Armada ANT. I guess if I skied nothing but park & pipe then I’d want something like the T-HALL
