If you are having a tough time deciding between the Armada JJ and the ANT, Armada is about to make your life a whole lot easier. The new TST is splitting the difference right at the midsole. The TST features a tip based heavily off of the JJ and a tail that performs just like the ANT. The TST is an all-mountain/big-mountain tool designed to let you explore the entire mountain; air the biggest cliffs, ski the deepest pow, and straight-line the steepest lines. With Armada's Patented EST All-Mountain Rocker that boasts a progressive tip rocker and no tail rocker, there isn't a turn or jump on the mountain the TST can't make. This is the ski Travis Steeger was asking Armada to make for his every day ski at his home mountain of Whitewater, BC. So next time you find yourself in the middle of a great day, or on a perfect run, or are just surrounded by all your friends; un-zip your coat, smile from ear to ear, and giv'er for Travis.

Comments about Armada TST Skis 2012:
This ski is very versatile, I'm using it as a nice lightweight touring setup and found that it performed really well on both the hardpack and the dust-on-crust so far this spring. No loss of carving ability or edge hold thanks to the rocker design. Haven't gotten to ride it in any pow yet, but betting it slays that too!!

Comments about Armada TST Skis 2012:
GREAT SKI, MORE OF A POWDER THAN ALL MOUNTAIN THOUGH. CUZ OF VERY EARLY ROCKER, SHOULD'VE GOTTEN LONGER/SIZE UP SKIS. NOT STIFF ENOUGH BUT LOVE THE COMBINATION OF FRONT ROCKER, CAMBER AND REGULAR TAILS, I THINK IT'S PERFECT AND THAT'S HOW THEY ALL SHOULD BE:)

Hey, this is Bob. Just got in from skiing the Armada TST. Didn't really exactly the greatest conditions for it, didn't have the deep snow. This thing really surprised me on the groomers. Held an insane edge for how much rocker this has. I can guarantee this thing is going to float great in in the deep snow. Overall for what I had for it, I'm going to give it a 4/5 stars. I like this guy a lot.

Hi, this is Trey, I just got off Armada's TST. Ton of technology in this ski, Armada has always been one of those companies way out of the forefront of ski design. This ski actually lives up to all that hype, it ski's fantastically. You can do a lot of different things on it, feel very comfortable, very stable. There is no rocker in the tail so you can really pull energy out of the turn. That's where you get all that great edge hold when it gets crusty. Maybe it's kind of icy and slick in the shoots, still can turn it quick and get what you want out of it. A lot of flotation, if it's a soft day with a lot of rocker in the shovel. I am giving this five out of five.

Hey, this is Thom. I'm here with the Armada TST. Five out of five for this, its got the tip off of the JJ,the tail off the old ANC it's all really cool combination. Its a ski that's going to float effortlessly for you, playing up in soft snow. It's fantastic, but it's got a solid powerful tail. Only 102 at the waist, so it's going to be pretty quick edge to edge, and is a descent ski on hard pack. Holds real well for that guy who is looking for directional performance, off piste, crud. If your just looking for something that's going to be light and nimble but still a powerful ski, it's a great ski.

Hi I'm Steve, and I just got off the Armada TST. This ski really amazed me as you can see there's a lot rocker in the tip. I wasn't really expecting this ski to carve really well but it carved amazingly well. I have the Armada ARV's and I would say this ski skied exactly like them. In terms of edge hold, really nice and buttery in the turns, really easy to carve around. With this rocker we didn't have powdered conditions today, but if we did I'm sure this ski would be awesome in the powder. If you want a ski you can handle on groomers and hardback, but when you get the snowfall you can easily go into the powder, into the trees kind of a one ski quiver this would be a great ski. I give this five out of five stars.

I'm Kyle, here with the new Armada TST. This ski was really fun, even on a day like this where it's pretty hard packed. I found it really fun to ski, basically with the tip being rockered, it feels like a pretty short ski. But then with the tail not being rockered you can pretty much load the tale with power. You could take it to smearville whenever you wanted, but then you just keep on it and just carve it out if you wanted to. This is a good all mountain ski, 100 underfoot, you really couldn't go wrong with skiing it anywhere. I give the Armada TST five out of five

Hi I'm Kevin, I just got off the brand-new Armada TST. All-new ski from Armada really works really well. It's a little bit more all mountain hardpacked oriented than the JJ. But you get a lot more versatility than the ARV. You got the early taper the early rise tip like in the JJ. You got full camber all the way tip to tale and a traditional twin tail. You kinda of get the best of both worlds her. If you spend a little more time on the hardpacked than you do in the powder this is going to be a good ski. If you're doing the soft stuff and you don't ski backwards this is also gonna be a really good ski for you. I give this ski 4 out of 5 stars.

Hi, I'm Charlie I just got off Armadas new TST. I'm gonna give this ski 4/5 stars, the early rise tip in it and this camber under your foot its a really great all mountain all around ski. It holds the edge really well its something that you can keep and do anywhere from midwest, to out west, to the east coast. It'll just do it all its got a cap sidewall, its a great all around ski.

I'm 5'8 170 and and rode the 183. With the jj tip and the ant tail you can really load the tail and let it loss whenever you want. And with the fully rockered tip you get amazing float. I thought it wouldnt hold that well on the groomers either but they carved like an all mountain ski. These skis are awsome for all conditions on the mountain.
