2021 Armada Tracer 108

The Tracer 108 is back for 2021 receiving just a subtle cosmetic update. That's not terribly surprising, as Armada's design and construction of the Tracer 108 earned a lot of high praise for the 2020 ski season. The Tracer 108 is a directional ski that falls squarely into the freeride category. It has a 108 mm waist width and a rocker/camber/rocker profile with longer tip rocker than tail rocker. It also uses some early taper, although it's not tremendously pronounced, so you're not losing huge amounts of effective edge when you have the ski up on edge. Armada uses a Hybrid Caruba Core in the Tracer series, bending the lightweight benefits of Caruba with the stability and energy of poplar. Armada also integrates their Adaptive Mesh material, a variable angle weave designed to deliver vibration damping and a smooth feel without adding excessive weight. You'll also notice their Taper Tops, where the wood core has been milled around the edges of the ski to further reduce weight, while also giving the ski a livelier feel when transitioning from edge to edge. The Tracer 108 is designed for downhill performance above all else, but because it hits a relatively low weight (1750 g at 180 cm), we see a lot of skiers using it as an alpine touring ski as well.
