One of the top skiers in the world (TJ Shiller) chose the Armada El Ray Alpine Ski as his favorite new workhorse. As if that isn't enough, Armada lightened and strengthened this plank for the ’08-’09 season. The new lighter, refined wood core rocks with the tough cap construction and reinforced edges so you get the same continuous flex and solid ride with less weight. Armada's easy-to-maintain S7 sintered base hauls ass with minimal manicuring, and the fiberglass torsion box underfoot gives you all the stability you need for big hits and fast lines. Whether you're headed to the park or the back bowls, the El Rey Fleet Series Alpine Ski has you covered.

Don’t argue with the Shiller.
