Armada is a manufacturer of skis, poles, and skiing-related softgoods, based in Costa Mesa, California with a European office in Zurich, Switzerland. The company's products are sold in over thirty five countries worldwide through wholly owned subsidiaries and distributors.

Company

Armada bills itself as skiing's first rider-owned, rider-operated manufacturer, and its team of high-profile, sponsored pros are central to the brand image and the product design process. Armada is known to the general public largely due to its association with multiple-time Winter X Games champion Tanner Hall, who is a founding team rider. In addition, Armada is credited with helping to shift mainstream perception of skiing in a younger, more dynamic direction through its unusual graphics and savvy marketing.
