Company Profile::Armada Skis

An idea hatched over a few beers between the world’s greatest skiers, Armada is no longer a suggestion of what a ski company should be. Today, Armada is distributed globally in 35 nations and embodies the cutting edge of the sport: athlete driven, design obsessed, and technologically superior.

Our independence allows for a single-minded focus on the product, assuring that the skis always meet the needs of an elite team of riders who know what works. Skiers the world over who demand the best demand Armada.

Armada is a family of athletes, artists, designers, and engineers that didn’t just push the envelope—we blew it wide open. And the industry is scrambling to catch up.

We are Armada. We are what skiing will become.

How Glamorous is life in the Ski Industry?

Well, pretty damn glamorous; and by that, I mean getting a little tipsy at a holiday party and then recovering the next morning by rocking out on your couch to The View.

We've got it on good authority that our good buddy, who will remain nameless, does this anyways...

Kevin Kruse is Awesome; Seriously.

Kevin Kruse is an old friend of www.ColoradoFreeskier.com and a righteous dude. He is the Scott USA Team Manager, drives a truck that gets terrible gas mileage, and routinely gets his dirt bikes tagged with CFS stickers when they're on his trailer. He's a good guy to Blog about too. Give Kruse a call anytime and he'll be sure to hook you up with 15-18 sets of new ski poles. Tag, you're it Missile.
