Description

The Tracer 88 is the "small" of the range, with only 88 mm on the waist width. If its big siblings (98, 108, 118) are oriented towards a more freeride practice, the 88 is rather oriented towards the summits with rando bindings and a pair of skins under the sole. Yes, the Tracer 88 is a versatile touring ski that we highly recommend.  

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

Thinner than its predecessors and therefore much lighter, equipped with a Caruba core ensuring dynamism and lightness, the Tracer 88 is in the vein of skis that perform as well on the way up as down. It is agile and easy to manoeuvre with the skins, and above all it remains very efficient during descents. The edge-to-edge passages are dynamic and precise, it offers an excellent recovery on hard snow and will not fail you if the conditions suddenly change. If we have to note a weakness, we'll talk about its performance in deep snow. The 88mm on the waist width will have trouble keeping you on the surface, but its tip rocker and your good ski level will help provide a good lift. 

Who is the Armada Tracer 88 ski touring for? 

We are dealing with a very accessible ski, an excellent choice for a first ski for touring. It remains ultra-versatile during descent and will enable you to experience the joys of this practice without requiring an excessive physical effort. For intermediate or advanced skiers.

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.
