Featuring Armada’s EST rocker technology (subtle rocker in the tip and tail with camber underfoot), the five-dimensional Halo not only carves like a champ, it also disengages the tip and tail to create a catch-free feel that’s ideal for buttering and pressing. Utilizing two high-density wood stringers nestled along the ultralight wood core, the Halo is extremely light and energetic. “It’s a bit funky to figure out at first, but once you get the hang of it, this thing becomes epic,” said one tester. It’s got the same AR50 sidewall, fast base and carbon-kevlar stringers as other Armada skis, making this a solid option for those of you looking to step up your park game.
