Armada Declivity 88 C Skis 2025
The Declivity 88 C is a blast to rip on groomers. It's quick edge to edge, and it's easy to initiate turns on. It offers a solid amount of grip while lighter-weight construction allows the ski to be forgiving and easy enough to pivot or slash. It's not as powerful or smooth as the Armada Declivity 92 Ti, but it's no slouch if you want to ski it more aggressively. Less experienced skiers will love it, while experts who like a more lively, quick-feeling ski won't be disappointed in the performance the Declivity 88 C has to offer.

The Armada Declivity 88 C is the more energetic little brother to the Armada Declvity 92 Ti. Light-weight construction combined with 88mm underfoot makes this ski quick edge to edge and insanely agile. The carbon in the ski makes the Declivity 88 feel lively without sacrificing any stability at higher speeds or grip on icier trails. Some other 88mm waisted skis can feel cumbersome or sluggish to initiate turns if you aren't skiing aggressively, but not the Armada Declivity 88 C -- this ski is easy at low speeds and forgiving if you're a less experienced skier. This ski feels very similar to the wildly popular Elan Ripstick 88 but is more groomer-focused than the Ripstick 88. It feels precise in a turn and offers awesome grip on firm terrain. Compared to the Declivity 92 Ti, the Declivity 88 C lacks some stability and power but is easier to ski and likes to make shorter turn shapes. If you love skiing groomers but don't want a ski that is demanding at lower speeds and you like a more lively feeling ski, the Armada Declivity 88 C is one of the best options out there.
Who is this ski for? Skiers who love groomers and like a ski that is quick edge to edge and effortless at lower speeds or on lower angle terrain.
Who isn't this ski for? Skiers who want the most powerful ski or skiers that prefer the more smooth feel skis with metal laminates offer.
