Sammy’s holy grail.
Sammy’s daily driver, the Whitewalker 116 is built to let Sammy
do what he does best. The powder-focused twin tip doubles as a
deep-snow freestyle ski and a big-mountain charger with a playful
character. Light enough to hike with, stout enough to send on.
Even if you can't come close to emulating Sammy Carlson's outradeous style, you'll ski the steep and deep way better on a pair of his signature Armada Whitewalker 116 Skis. Uber-light, plenty wide and with tons of taper at both ends, the Whitewalker is super confident doing both figure 11's or in a fullspeed sideslip, as well as everything in between. A unique ski with a unique storyline, and one that belongs on your feet on a pow day.
Product Details
Rocker Type
AR Freestyle Rocker – Rockered tips and tails are combined with positive camber underfoot to allow the ski to charge with ease through unpredictable snow and maintain a solid carve when asked to do so. Turn the whole mountain into your playground.
Flex
Flex (1=Soft, 10=Stiff) – Tip = 7, Waist = 9, Tail = 8
Shape
Pin Tip and Tail
Core
Caruba Core – Armada's lightest wood species creates the best uphill feel while retaining the power and dampness required for descending in the gnarliest of terrain. This core makes no concessions in its quest for ultralight performance.
Sidewalls
AR75 Sidewall – Sidewalls provide improved edge pressure under the boot, while cap constuction in the tip and tail provides smooth turn initiation and less hookiness - 75% sidewall, 25% cap.
Base
Comp Series Base – Sintered UHMW polyethylene with added carbon aids in speed and durability on snow.
Edges
1.7 Lightweight Edge – Light and strong, these heat-treated edges effect the feel of the ski minimally to ensure a snappy, lightweight feel.
Additional Features
Smear Tech – A 3D beveled base in the tip and tail creates a unique feel in all snow conditions. Less likely to catch in crud, self-centering in deep snow, and uncatchable on takeoffs, Smear Tech lets you float effortlessly whether sliding forwards, backwards, left, or right.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
