THE most specific park ski in Armada’s formidable free-skiing line-up.
Aimed at the expert to pro, the Pipe Cleaner shares the same dimensions as the T-Hall model but the core is lighter than the Core 1 featured on the T-Hall pro-model. Also the base is slicker and this ski has Armada’s finest finish for [...]

Amazing really, it is only now that Salomon, one of the world’s largest ski manufacturers, have stopped producing their top park skis with a cap (or “Monocoque” construction in Salomon’s case) whereas one of the coolest brands on the market heralds the arrival of its “burly Cap Construction”……..!

With their heavily re-worked range for 2009 Armada have made some serious inroads to becoming a major “player”, this range is deeper, tougher, more precise, [...]
