Many skis stand out for a specific feature or character that defines them and shine in a particular type of snow condition or terrain. But what stood out to me the most about the all-new Armada Antimatter 114 was not any one feature or attribute, but rather the absence of one. Not what it could do, but what it couldn’t do. From the first run, I found myself not thinking about what the ski was doing at all, and instead was free to react intuitively to whatever type of terrain was beneath me. The balance of support and stability mixed with playful maneuverability in this versatile platform is exceptional. Built for advanced to expert freeride skiers who like to explore technical off-piste terrain in soft or variable snow, this ski is ready to take your next powder day to another dimension. —Jay Maloney
