Armada

Fleet El Rey 2009

Fleet El Rey Skis: Officially TJ Schiller’s favorite new work horse, the El Rey Skis are taking competitors by stampede as well. Armada’s 2009 version is lighter and slightly softer, but stronger from its new and more-refined Fleet Core 3. Armada El Rey’s burly Cap Construction, mid-fat waist, continuous flex and minimal maintenance seal the deal. These skis will cut up the powder, arc on groomers and shred in the park. Whether a first-time lesson, ducking work for some turns, or bringing your skills to the Open, the price will leave enough money to “give er,” as TJ would say.
