The 2025 Armada Declivity 92 Ti with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings retains much of its proven design with some updates, making it ideal for dynamic skiers seeking a versatile option for high-level all-mountain performance. Blurring the line between all-mountain and freeride, it has garnered praise for its exceptional carving ability, appealing primarily to those who value precision on varied terrain. From high-speed groomers to challenging powder, this ski fulfills the demands of all-mountain skiing admirably. We paired the 92 Ti with the Strive 14 because of this binding’s well known reputation for safety, reliability, and ease of use. Featuring an LDN toe piece that optimizes contact and response, these bindings integrate seamlessly with boots and skis, allowing for a natural flex and balanced stance, making them the perfect choice to pair with this ski.

Why we like it:

We admire the Declivity 92 Ti for its seamless performance whether cruising down groomers or exploring off-trail. Its versatility makes it a standout choice.

Who it's for:

This ski is best suited for advanced to expert skiers who can fully utilize its capabilities. Even strong intermediate skiers looking to advance will find it a rewarding choice.

Highlights:

Highlighted by its poplar wood core and Armada’s Articulated Titanal Banding, the Declivity 92 Ti offers stability and smoothness across diverse mountain terrain. Its exceptional carving prowess and premium feel make it a compelling option at its price point. The Strive 14 GW, with its lightweight build and low-profile chassis, delivers a smooth and responsive ride all day long. It remains nimble in deep snow and light on your feet as the day progresses. The LDN Toe Pieces offer a low stand height, optimizing power transfer and improving the connection to your skis. The Automatic Toe Adaption feature effortlessly adjusts to GripWalk boots without the need for manual adjustments. Additionally, the Snow Scrapers on the toe pieces effectively remove snow and ice, ensuring a secure fit that enhances both safety and performance for direct power transmission

Things to consider:

While the Declivity 92 Ti leans towards freeride, it approaches the performance of dedicated frontside carving skis on firm snow.

Fit & sizing considerations:

In terms of sizing, the ski generally fits true to size, but more aggressive skiers seeking a challenge might consider sizing up.
