Whitewalker 116 Ski - 2026

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve never skied anything that feels quite like the Whitewalker 116. They’re insanely light underfoot but still feel planted when you’re blasting through chopped-up pow. The Smear Tech tips and tails let you pivot and slash in deep snow effortlessly. If you want a ski that’s playful but can still handle big terrain at speed, this is it."

When the storm cycle drops a fresh blanket of powder, we grab the Armada Whitewalker 116 Skis and get ready to float. Armada built these signature planks with Sammy Carlson’s progressive style in mind, blending ultralight construction and generous taper to turn any powder day into an unforgettable session.

The Caruba Core keeps things featherweight on the skintrack without sacrificing dampness and stability for the descent. AR Freestyle Rocker combines deep rocker lines at tip and tail with camber underfoot, so we can smear, slash, and carve with total control no matter how deep it gets. Smear Tech beveling in the base helps the ski stay loose and surfy when we pivot through tight trees or line up switch landings. From dreamy pillow stacks to steep open faces, the Whitewalker 116 delivers the confidence and versatility to charge wherever the storm leads.
