Armada Locator 104 Touring Skis 2023

The everyday, every condition backcountry freeride ski.

The perfect backcountry partner is someone who is up for anything and will never let you down whether the conditions are all time, apocalyptic or something in between. Sounds a lot like the Locator 104. Multi-day hut trip in your future? The lightweight construction will keep you going on the skin track. Blower pow in the sidecountry? Ample rocker and a blended tail shape let you point it down the fall line or throw it sideways in bottomless snow on demand. When you need one ski with a soft snow focus that can do it all with predictable performance, the Locator 104 is ready.

FEATURES & TECHNOLOGY

  • EST ALL MTN ROCKER - Fore body rocker and extra tip taper combine for optimized float in the soft stuff. Positive camber under foot with no tail rocker ensures edge hold so skis stay on rails when carving is the priority.
  • CARUBA CORE - Our lightest wood core material creates the best uphill feel while retaining the power and damping characteristics required for descending the gnarliest terrain. This core makes no performance concessions in its quest to be ultra-light.
  • 1.7 LIGHTWEIGHT EDGE - Light and strong, this heat-treated edge minimally affects the feel of the ski to ensure a snappy, lightweight feel.
  • COMP SERIES BASE - Sintered UHMW polyethylene with added carbon creates our fastest base without sacrificing durability.
  • CARBON REINFORCEMENT - Carbon appliation to provide excellent energy rebound.
  • AR75 SIDEWALL - Sidewall on 75% of the ski to allow for weight savings on tip and tail while maintaining ridgitiy and drive in the prime zone.
  • TI BINDING DAMPENER - Below the binding, a sandwich of rubber and Titanal works to reduce vibration that otherwise chatters into your boots and shortens your day. The extra damping lets you ski bell-to-bell.
  • AR Bat Tail Self Center Tail Clip Design - Backcountry = Bat Country with this tail clip zone built into ski that always keeps skins centered and secure.

    Sizing Guides

    Sizing Charts

    To help you to work out sizings, we have devised the following size guide. It is generic and not specific to any particular brand so especially with clothing it is best to either call for our opinion or cross reference the manufacturers individual size guides. Please click one of the links to get to the relevant chart below:

    Ski length, Snowboard length, Snowboard Bindings, Boot sizes, Clothing sizes, Glove sizes.

    Ski length

    We have devised a simple chart to assist you in selecting your correct ski length. If you require any further assistance, our staff will be only to happy to help.

    Weight (stones) 5-6 6-7 7-7.5 7.5-8.5 8.5-9.5 10-10.75 11-11.25 12.5-13.5 13.5+
    Weight (kilos) 32-38 38-43 43-47 48-54 57-62 63-69 70-79 80-86 87+
    Length (cm's) 125 135 145 155 160 165 170 170 175

    Level 1/2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5/6 Level 7/8 Level 9/10
    Skiing for the first time Able to ski green/blue runs Able to ski Blue/Red runs Able to ski all pisted runs in good conditions Able to ski all runs on/off piste in good conditions Able to ski anywhere on the mountain
    -15cm -10cm -5cm 0 cm +5cm +10cm

    1. Select your weight level.The ski length at the bottom of your weight column is your suggested starting length.

    2. Now select your abilty level, the amount in cms at the bottom of your ability level is added to or subtracted from your starting length.

    3. Add a further 5cm if you are spending 60% or more of your time off Piste.

    4. By adding the above together you will have found your recommended ski length.

    By adding your Ski length to your ability you will have found your recommended ski length. For example a person weighing 75kg, who is a level 7 skier will ski on length of 170 + 5cms = 175cms.

    This ski length chart is a guide as not all skis end in 5 or 0 cms and therefore suggest you ski closest to the recommended length

    Snowboard Length

    Snowboard sizing is determined purely by weight. Ability determines flex - beginners should choose a board with a softer more forgiving flex, whilst more advanced riders would normally prefer a stiffer board.

    Weight (kg) 32-37 38-43 44-50 51-56 57-63 64-69 70-75 76-82 83-88 89-94 95-101 102+
    Weight (stones) 5-6 6-7 7-8 8-9 9-10 10-11 11-12 12-13 13-14 14-15 15-16 16+
    Minimum length 125 130 135 140 145 150 155 157 160 162 164 166
    Maximum length 135 140 145 150 155 160 162 165 168 170 170 170
