Product Story
The crown jewel of the Tracer Series, the Tracer 98 is your everyday off-piste ski built with versatility in mind. A layer of Adaptive Mesh keeps the ride damp and stable while the beveled top edges create a lighter ski that can handle anything you throw its way. We paired a superlight Caruba Core to a more durable fiberglass construction making the Tracer 98 even lighter and more durable. Quick from edge-to-edge and capable in every condition from hardpack to powder, the Tracer 98 is the true one-ski quiver from resort to backcountry.

Skied JJ’s first half of the day 7” new snow love them! Tracer 98’s second half of the day . Skied on cold Washington hard packed snow rest if day with power tracks in the trees . Tore it up !! Pow to bumps to hard pack. Turn on a dime , railed the turns high speed full throttle felt so light skied like nothing under my boots. . Could not find anything on the mountain they did not eat alive. Love these skis felt so comfortable at full speed down hills carving ripping edge to edge. I could ski full day legs would not get tired . Best day ever !</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2021-01-04</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2021-01-04" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="1082377491"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">5</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">skitilidrop</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">Versatile Fun</span> <span itemprop="description">I've skied on K2 Revival twin tips for several years and wanted something I could take off- piste, off the other side of the mountain and through the trees. I went to the guys at Pinewski's Ski Shop and they steered me to Armada. The Tracer 98 has exceeded all my expectations and then some! Their light weight makes climbing up easy while not sacrificing the elements needed to control your descent. Their flex makes slides and powder turns a breeze while they are stiff enough to grip the crud and hard pack for carving turns. The only annoyance is the vibrations that can set up when skiing fresh, hard corduroy, kinda tickles the feet and calves, but that's not what I bought them for so big whup! I had a blast on them and can't wait for this season to start!</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2020-10-26</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2020-10-26" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="1071552058"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">5</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">Traves Jackson</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">Armada Tracer 98</span> <span itemprop="description">This is my go to for every day in the backcountry. I pair it with the Armada Shift binding, Tracer 98 pre-cut skin, and the Carbon Adjustable pole. At 98 underfoot it's really the perfect width for the right ski for handling all the variable conditions one will find in the backcountry. The Tracer 98 is a very stable and confidence inspiring series, with a light weight build that makes it uniquely capable as a true "free-touring" Ski.</span> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2020-04-10</div> <meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2020-04-10" /> </div> <div class="bvseo-review" itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Review" data-reviewid="1072881472"> <span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Rating"> Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">5</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span> </span> by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope><span itemprop="name">Dmoney</span></span> from <span itemprop="name">Fantastic under foot</span> <span itemprop="description">I used to ski Blizzards.

I cannot believe the manoeuvrability of these skis, even in a foot of powder they turn on a dime, and how well they float. These skis are a true one ski quiver, I could even ride them switch on the groomers.
