Long, Straight, Stiff, Wideà. And Light? That's right the killer combo that delivers Big Mountain performance in a light weight package is back in the ANT Pro model Armada. Rumor has it this years ANT is a hair softer than the plank that last years admittedly was, a move I applaud. Honestly though I can't tell you that the difference is much as it still feels like a members only Big Mountain ski to me. At 191cm and 106mm underfoot the ANT is an extremely powerful straight liner for guys who like wide open bowls and find themselves in them often. Its one redeeming quality that makes it truly skiable is the fact that it is super light for its size/flex and can be picked up and tossed around when its straighter sidecut doesn't quite come around on its own.
