Armada’s Tracer 118 is designed for the skier who is continually seeking the next high-altitude objective and wants a pair of skis that can handle a multitude of snow conditions. Significant rocker in the tip as well as slight tail rocker keep the Tracer nimble, while camber underfoot ensures great snow contact. Inside the ski, you’ll find a combination of poplar and ash wood in the core reinforced by a layer of woven fiberglass and two strips of Titanal. The result is a reliable ski that holds up on the steepest of descents, while optimizing flex and maneuverability. According to Donny O’Neill, this ski is “more energetic than a gaggle of puppies. Lightweight yet stable; rails turns but is still nimble in trees and bumpy terrain.”
