Armada’s Invictus 89Ti rides the wider, rockered side of the Frontside All Mountain category, reaping the rewards of easy turns and true terrain versatility that extends off-piste. This is a ski that delivers consistent performance for a variety of skiers, and could easily be a go-to ski (if not the only ski) for anyone looking to spend every weekend on the lifts.

That extra rocker, and versatility, does mean the ski is not as aggressive on the hardpack. It also means the ski won’t feel as stable as other frontside focused skis in this class. If you want a well-built ski with real frontside versatility, give some strong consideration to the Invictus.
