Beat the boys on the Skin track with the Trace 88

The Trace 88 represents Armada's first steps in the ultra-lightweight touring market for women, and it is a huge leap. No detail has been left unthought of, in this impressive ski. The 88 mm waist is versatile and quick and the slight nose rocker keeps you above the snow and helps when breaking trail touring. Don't think this ski is just for long tours and hut to hut trips if you put an alpine binding on it works as a brilliant lightweight all mountain ski.

Riding Style
The Trace 88 is the lightest and narrowest of their new touring line so is the best suited for longer tours. It does, however, work really well as an all mountain ski too.

Shape
The Tracer and Trace lines of skis all use directional sidecuts for maximum performance downhill and uphill on the skin track. The tails are flatter with the Armada I-Clip attachment for power in the turns and stability when touring.

Profile
EST All Mountain Rocker is a slight nose rocker to help with floatation, turn initiation and ease of trail breaking. Camber underfoot guarantees grip and stability in harder and icier conditions.

Flex
Tip - 6 Waist - 7 tail – 7(1 = softest, 10 = stiffest). A firm flex through the ski for performance in the backcountry or around the mountain.

Construction
The Hybrid Ultra-Lite core is the lightest core from Armada but is still damp and powerful. The AR75 Sidewall extend the usual Armada sidewalls further up the skis for improved grip whilst still remaining extremely lightweight. There is an I-Clip on the tail for ease of use with touring skins, Armada's fastest premium Comp Series Base keep you fast on the way down as well as up!
