Description

The Tracer 88 is the finest ski in the Armada Tracer range of touring skis. Very light thanks to its caruba wood shell, it is nonetheless ideal for descending in mixed snow.    

What is the programme of the Armada Tracer 88 touring ski?  

The Tracer 88 is, as its name suggests, equipped with a waist width of 88 mm. The idea is to have a ski that works in mixed snow and fresh snow, but is not too voluminous for ascents. Mission accomplished with a ski that is light in all circumstances thanks to a weight of only 1,225 grams per slat in a size 172. You therefore save energy for the descent, for which its rocker/classical chamber/flat heel profile and its intermediate flex allow for a very dynamic ski, fairly directional and easy to pilot. Its Achilles heel is the big powder, where you can still count on the front spatula's rocker to help you get out of the snow. 

Who is the Armada Tracer 88 touring ski for?  

Technically accessible from the intermediate level upwards, this ski is intended for skiers looking to get off the beaten track and go into the mountains to enjoy quiet landscapes and descents far from the slopes. Be careful, make sure you are accompanied by a professional for your first outings on the slopes.

Tips and advice

How to choose the length of your skis?

How to choose the size of your piste and all-mountain skis?
On glisshop.co.uk, you may feel overwhelmed by the amount of products we sell. How can you find the right skis, which ones can suit your level, your style or your budget?

Your options: 

1. The advanced search engine: You'll find it everywhere on our website, as a sidebar on our listing pages. It allows you to select conditions and refine your selection: brand, level, style, etc. When you select them, only the relevant products will show. 

2. You can contact us on the 020 3129 3301: skis feature fine technologies and affect your safety. It is important to make sure that the skis you've selected will suit you. Call our landline and get in touch with our team for any questions regarding these products. 

During the process or your order, we'll ask you to complete a form about the mounting of your bindings. With these details, we will be able to mount the bindings with the correct settings. The release value of the bindings is set by a professional skiman, and according to the norm AFNOR FD S 52-748.

If you don't have your own ski boots when you order, the bindings will be pre-mounted. The final settings can be done :

- by a shop if you are renting your ski boots

- by our skiman : you can call us for any technical questions. Our skiman will do the final settings for you. Telephone : 020 3129 3301

All skis you purchase on our website are factory-waxed and tuned. This means they are ready to hit the slopes. However, gear tends to wear and in order to keep it in its best shape, you need to maintain base and edges on a regular basis.

Maintaining your skis is essential for a smooth glide and a solit grip. Frequency of maintenance may vary depending on how often you use your skis, or on how damaged they are. We recommend you to wax them every 10 riding days and at the end of the season. Edges need to be tuned up to 2 times per season if you want to keep a good edge control. However, don't overdo it. Tuning is basically scraping off material. If you do it too often, the edges will vanish after some time.

When your base is damaged and shows shallow scratches or rock gouge, it is possible to repair it.

You can get these repairs done by professional ski shop, or if the gouge is only superficial you may repair it yourself. To do so, you will need special tools and materials such as wax, Ptex for repairing bases, edge sharpeners, etc. You can find them on our website.

All products benefit from a manufacturer guarantee, as long as the damage is caused by a manufacturing defect (may it be hidden or obvious).

Usually, the manufacturer guarantee lasts two years.

Only the manufacturer is able to decide if there has been a 'manufacturing defect' or a 'misuse'. Glisshop is only an intermediary between you and the manufacturer.

The manufacturer's guarantee will not apply if the problem comes from a misuse.
