Armada Reliance 88 C Ski

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "The Reliance 88 C has been a top pick for lightweight performance. It's easy to maneuver in tight spots but still holds strong on firm snow. I love how the carbon makes it pop from turn to turn—it’s one of those skis that feels alive without being demanding." We ski the Armada Reliance 88 C when we want to cover the mountain with precision, agility, and a lightweight feel that doesn’t sacrifice edge hold. Whether we’re cruising corduroy, threading tight trees, or making the most of spring conditions, the Reliance 88 C delivers a responsive ride that feels smooth and composed from tip to tail.A 100% poplar wood core paired with carbon stringers gives this ski a lively, energetic flex that boosts confidence at speed while remaining forgiving enough to maneuver through mixed terrain. Armada’s EST All Mtn Rocker profile provides tip and tail rise for quick turn initiation and variable snow float, while camber underfoot keeps the edge locked in on hardpack. Full-length AR100 sidewalls and a sintered Comp Series base round out a construction built for durability and speed, making the Reliance 88 C a true daily driver for intermediate to advanced skiers.
