<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAt the risk of repeating myself, I REALLY enjoyed skiing on the Armada Reliance 102 Ti. From the first few turns, I felt a confidence in the ski that I wasn’t expecting. The ski felt so stable on the slopes and transferred from edge to edge so smoothly, that I just couldn’t help but hit the gas and just go. Menno commented after my second run on the skis that he didn’t think he’d ever seen me ski so fast on a ski that wasn’t my race skis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was no doubt in my mind that these skis absolutely shone on the groomers, but since they are marketed as an all-mountain ski, I also wanted to see how they held up in the off-piste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, the Alps hadn’t had much fresh snow when we were testing the skis, so I wasn’t able to ski any deep, untracked powder with them. Instead, what I got was choppy, tracked-out terrain. The skis handled the chopped-up snow pretty well. Because of the stiffness, the ski felt really stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
