What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"The Tantrum is basically a scaled-down freeride ski with all the feel of an adult setup. My kid loves how it floats on soft snow but still feels stable carving groomers. It’s forgiving enough to build confidence but powerful enough to keep up when they start pushing harder."Who It’s ForProgressing Kids Ready for Real All-Mountain Performance:The Tantrum is designed for junior skiers who have moved past rentals and want a ski that performs like a true freeride tool. Perfect for kids building confidence in powder, trees, and groomers who need both float and edge control. What It’s ForAll-Mountain Exploration with Freeride Capability:With a 100mm waist and rocker/camber/rocker profile, the Tantrum is built for soft snow float, quick pivoting, and stable carves. It thrives in deeper powder days, spring groomers, and mixed conditions, giving kids the tools to ski confidently everywhere. Why We Like ItAdult-Level Construction in a Youth-Sized Ski:We like the Tantrum because it’s built with the same design philosophy as Armada’s freeride lineup, scaled for juniors. The poplar core keeps it lively, fiberglass smooths out chatter, and the S7 sintered base maintains speed. It’s a ski that helps young skiers bridge the gap between playful riding and freeride progression.
