Utah
Utah is a landmark region for skiing in North America, known for its light, dry powder often called the greatest snow on Earth. Skiing in Utah began in the 1930s with the opening of its first resort, Alta, in 1939. Alta remains a legendary destination for ski purists, famous for its deep powder and long-standing ban on snowboarding. The ski industry in the state reached a turning point with the 2002 Winter Olympics held in Salt Lake City. The event brought modern infrastructure and international attention to Utah’s ski areas. Among its most iconic spots is Park City Mountain, one of the largest ski resorts in the United States, now merged with Canyons Resort. Nearby, Deer Valley is known for luxury service and meticulously groomed runs. Snowbird offers steep terrain and access to Little Cottonwood Canyon, making it a magnet for freeriders from around the world. Brighton and Solitude, quieter and more low-key, deliver an authentic local atmosphere and diverse terrain perfect for families and passionate skiers alike. Utah offers a unique balance of history, exceptional snow quality, and a wide range of mountain experiences, making it a must-visit for any ski enthusiast.
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.
