Armada Whitewalker 116 Skis
Sammy Carlson’s holy grail. Deep snow. Pure creativity.
The Armada Whitewalker 116 is Sammy Carlson’s daily driver — a powder-focused twin tip built to blur the line between deep-snow freestyle and big-mountain charging. Light enough to hike with and strong enough to send, this ski is designed to let you ski creatively in the deepest conditions the mountain can offer.
With a 116 mm waist and AR Freestyle Rocker, the Whitewalker floats effortlessly in powder while maintaining control and edge hold when conditions firm up. The Caruba Core keeps weight low for touring laps and bootpacks, while carbon stringers and reinforcements add pop, energy, and stability for high-speed descents and big airs.
Smear Tech in the tips and tails creates a beveled 3D base that enhances float and allows for catch-free butters, slashes, and pivots in all snow conditions. Pin Tip & Tail construction further reduces swing weight, keeping the ski quick, playful, and easy to maneuver despite its wide platform.
Inspired by Sammy’s uniquely playful yet powerful style, the Whitewalker 116 is built for skiers who see the entire mountain as a canvas.
