The Armada Edollo 2018 is a very fun and playful ski that will make sure you have the best possible time both in and out of the park this winter.
The Armada Edollo is a ski we love! The construction of this ski remains unchanged this year, a testament to its well deserved popularity, but the topsheet has had a striking redesign which we expect to be very popular on the slopes.
However, we don’t just love the Armada Edollo because of its awesome look (although that does help). We had an absolute blast testing this one, as can be seen in its very impressive testing scores. This is a ski that likes to jump, with a light, agile nature that absolutely loves the park. The pop-lite core means gives it that little extra spring that will keep you ahead of the pack.
The AR50 Sidewall absorbs heavy landings well, dampening vibrations and allowing you to round off your tricks in smooth style. Combining this with 2.2 Impact Edges, Armada have created a fun, durable ski that is guaranteed to last.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking this is a ski purely for the park though. The versatile nature of the Armada Edollo means that it is also good for all mountain use.
Thanks to a 98mm waist and tip and tail rocker, the Edollo floats beautifully in softer snow. It could also be used as an effective option for a powder day as well as a very good general all mountain ski. On piste, it has good edge hold and quick responsiveness that keeps you confident through the turns and means you can really fly down the slopes.
This is definitely a good choice for an advanced skier who wants to shred in the park without feeling limited when it comes to the rest of the mountain. The Armada Edollo 2018 is the most versatile a park ski as can be and will show you a good time across all terrains.
