Armada Alpha 2 Ski - 2009 BCS

it works better with stability ................cheap cars for sale

The Alpha 2 is a really fun park and all mountain charger. I was looking for a park ski with either reverse camber (full length) or early rise tip and tail. There aren't many out but it came down to the Alpha 2 and Moment's Rocker. I chose this over the Rocker because the Alpha 2 has traditional camber underfoot which helps a lot for stability when you are carrying speed into a jump or charging a groomer. What separates this ski from others I have skied is that it is REALLY light and spins like nobodies business. You can definitely notice the "Elf Shoe Technology" (early rise tip and tail) helping out when buttering out of a landing or when in soft snow/chop/powder (the tips don't snag or sink).

My one gripe about the ski is that it has a smaller turning radius than I would prefer. I have the 182cm length and when I am pointing the skis straight at high speeds they wiggle a bit and if I put them on edge they want to pull you into sharp turns. I fixed this a bit by detuning the edges a fair amount.

The ski skis short and is super light so get bigger skis than you would normally. I came from 172cm head park skis to the Alpha 2s at 182cm and they feel easier to rotate with even though they are longer.

haven't had quite as many opportunities to take it in the pow as i would like but the way it shreds groomers i know it will be excellent. the things are so light spinning on and off rails and hitting jumps is amazing. stomps the hell out of landings and feels absurdly amazing riding switch. the park is in your control with these.

The Alpha 2 is a super fun park and surprisingly good all-mountain ski. It has a snappy flex and is really quick edge to edge all while being almost weightless underfoot. The early rise tips and tails are awesome in off-trail, chunky snow. I was really impressed by how well this ski handled all over the mountain. It was fun to bomb off cliffs and park jumps all day long. It's base requires less effort to maintain than the 1 version, which is a nice touch. Super easy to butter too, by the way.
