| Skier | Carve radius at 30° / 45° / 60° edge | Edge hold, groomed | Edge hold, ice | Float, powder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 70 kg | 14.9 / 12.2 / 8.6 m | Holds well (100%) | On the limit (66%) | Some float (47%) |
| 90 kg | 14.9 / 12.2 / 8.6 m | Holds well (100%) | On the limit (62%) | Sinks (41%) |

These are the model’s numbers, not measurements. Carve radius comes from the sidecut, so it does not change with weight; edge hold and float do. Flex and camber are our estimates (see “What the model uses” below).
By ability
The Armada Declivity 88 C R at 176 cm for a 90 kg skier on groomed snow. Reviewers are mostly experts, so read the left of each band for what most skiers get.
Edge hold
On firm snow, 176 cm- First-timer: slides (19%)
- Beginner: slides (41%)
- Intermediate: on the limit (70%), assumed level
- Advanced: holds well (95%)
- Expert: holds well (100%)
Float
In soft snow- First-timer: sinks (32%)
- Beginner: sinks (33%)
- Intermediate: sinks (35%), assumed level
- Advanced: sinks (38%)
- Expert: sinks (41%)
Ease
How forgiving it is- First-timer: hard (0%)
- Beginner: manageable (56%)
- Intermediate: easy (100%), assumed level
- Advanced: easy (100%)
- Expert: easy (94%)
Our model, run with working assumptions about how each level skis (edge angle, speed, how much weight reaches the edge). Not measurements. The marked cell assumes an intermediate skier; compare with your own details to see your own level.
