Mt. Hood
Mount Hood is an iconic volcano in Oregon, rising to 3,429 meters, making it the state’s highest peak. Its history is closely tied to exploration and mountaineering since the 19th century, before becoming a major skiing destination. Today, Mount Hood is famous for resorts like Timberline and Mount Hood Meadows, offering nearly year-round skiing thanks to its glaciers, especially the Palmer Snowfield. It’s also a key spot for summer freestyle camps, drawing riders from around the world to hone their tricks. Events like the Sammy C Invitational have further boosted its reputation. Thus, Mount Hood is known as a hub for skiing, blending alpine culture, summer training, and creative competitions.
Armada
Armada was born in 2002 from a vision shared by a small group of professional skiers and friends, including Tanner Hall, JP Auclair, Julien Regnier, and photographer Chris O’Connell. Frustrated by big traditional brands that didn’t understand the booming needs of freestyle and freeride skiing, they decided to build their own company, dedicated to this new generation of skiers. Their goal was simple: design skis by riders themselves to push limits in parks, powder, and big mountain terrain. Based in Costa Mesa, California, Armada quickly earned a reputation for its innovative, independent spirit. It developed iconic models like the ARV for freestyle and the JJ for backcountry. Thanks to the direct involvement of its founders in design and marketing, the brand cultivated an authentic, rebellious image closely tied to freeski culture. Even today, Armada remains true to the legacy left by its founders, keeping passion and creativity at the heart of its identity.
