The perfect backcountry partner is someone who is up for anything and will never let you down whether the conditions are all time, apocalyptic or something in between. Sounds a lot like the Locator 104. Multi-day hut trip in your future? The lightweight construction will keep you going on the skin track. Blower pow in the sidecountry? Ample rocker and a blended tail shape let you point it down the fall line or throw it sideways in bottomless snow on demand. When you need one ski with a soft snow focus that can do it all with predictable performance, the Locator 104 is ready.

FEATURES


  • EST FREERIDE ROCKER - Fore body rocker and extra tip-taper combine to create EST. Great for optimized float in the soft stuff. Positive camber under foot with no tail rocker ensures these skis stay on rails when carving is the priority.

  • CARUBA CORE - Armada's lightest weight core material, Caruba delivers premium performance characteristics without the weight penalty. With snappy, resilient ride qualities and versatile construction characteristics, it’s ideal for a wide range of uses. Caruba is also our most sustainable core material, regrowing in a fraction of the time poplar and ash wood does.

  • AR75 SIDEWALL - Sidewall on 75% of the ski to allow for weight savings in the tip and tail while maintaining ridgitiy and edge hold.

  • 1.7 LIGHTWEIGHT EDGE - Light and strong, these heat-treated edges affect the feel of the ski minimally to ensure a snappy, lightweight feel.

  • COMP SERIES BASE - Sintered UHMW polyethylene with added carbon aids in speed and durability on snow.

  • TI BINDING DAMPENER - Below the binding, a sandwich of rubber, Titanal and finally more rubber work to dampen vibration that otherwise chatters into your boots and shortens your day. Ski bell-to- bell with extra damping provided.

  • CARBON REINFORCEMENT - Carbon application to provide excellent energy rebound.

  • AR BAT TAIL SELF CENTER TAIL CLIP DESIGN - Modern surf inspired tail shape allows skin clips to self center, making it impossible for a skin to slip off.
