The Armada Invictus earned mixed reviews among our mixed range of testers. While some skiers found it fun, playful, and versatile in soft snow conditions, others felt it lacked the hard-edging ‘oomph’ to make for a reliable big mountain ski.

If you like to butter, ski the fall-line, and hunt out soft snow, this could be a good choice for you. If you want to charge long arcs from the top of the bowl, through the bumps, and down the hardpack to the chair, you will want a more versatile ski.
