Armada Whitewalker 116 Skis 2026

Sammy Carlson’s playful big-mountain powder ski, built for deep snow, backcountry freestyle and hard-charging freeride lines.

The Armada Whitewalker 116 is a powder-focused freeride ski designed for skiers who want a lightweight, playful and powerful platform for deep snow. Inspired by Sammy Carlson’s uniquely creative style, it blends big-mountain stability with a surfy freestyle feel, making it ideal for powder laps, backcountry bootpacks, pillows, trees and fast open faces.

With a 116 mm waist, AR Freestyle Rocker and progressive shape, the Whitewalker 116 delivers excellent float while staying loose, manoeuvrable and easy to pivot. The lightweight Caruba Core, carbon stringers and carbon reinforcement keep the ski responsive and energetic, while Smear Tech, Pin Tip & Tail and AR75 Sidewall construction help create a smooth, catch-free ride in deep and variable snow.
