Armada Sicko Snowboard 2027

Ride It Like You Stole It.

The Armada Sicko Snowboard 2027 is a full on tapered directional powerhouse designed for high velocity and creative lines. This insane build offers the perfect blend of response and board feel, providing the stability needed to charge hard while offering additional float for those deeper days in the backcountry.

Milosport Shop Take

"Dude, everyone at the shop on 33rd is losing their minds over this whole tapered directional trend, and the new Armada Sicko is the absolute poster child for it. Normally, when people think of a tapered snowboard, they picture some extreme 10mm+ powder-specific surf board that stays locked in the closet unless we get two feet of blower up at Brighton. But the Sicko is different.

Depending on the size you grab, it’s sitting right in that sweet spot with 5mm to 6mm of taper. That smaller amount of taper is pure magic for versatility. It’s just enough to make the nose sit way up in the deep stuff off Milly or Great Western, but it’s subtle enough that the board doesn't feel like a one trick pony. You can take this thing out on a generic, zero new snow Tuesday and absolutely lay down trenches on the groomers, or confidently spin and ride switch without that weird, hooky drag you get from heavy taper decks. It's a true quiver killer. It gives you all the float of a freeride shape with the freestyle playfulness of a twin, making it the perfect daily driver for the SLC local who wants to ride everything from backcountry kickers to resort side-hits."
