The Movement Fly-Series was another standout, an awesome, stiff-flexed take on the jibby, heavily rockered shape.
Extremely light (around 1500g per ski) and super fun basically sums these up in a nutshell.
But they absolutely rip on groomers, stiffer skis tend to and thats usually where it ends for me.

I dont normally love Armada skis.
And using the fatter Armada edge should mean they last a lot longer than the Henrik skis too.
Both of the skis carve great, both skis are playful and fun.
And both are great ‘everyday ski’ options.
These are some of the best skis Armada have ever made in my opinion.
Faction Candide 4.0
Faction have made major changes to the construction and shaping of all their skis this year.
For park skiers that means a slightly softer feeling 1.0 and 2.0.
The 4.0 however, is the highlight of the line.
Seriously, get on a pair of these if you could, you’ll have a good day.
The obvious addition is the Pescado, which I sadly didnt get a chance to ski.
The flex is also improved and they feel more Line-y than last years models.
My favourite ski of the lot though, was the Magnum Opus.
It still uses the balsa/flax core and gains bamboo sidewalls this year.
Its pretty much the ultimate fun/fat ski.
Hell, I’d ski them in the park every day if they had a more rail friendly construction.
Youd never guess you were skiing a ski 124mm underfoot until you get it in the deep stuff.
