Sicko Snowboard 2027

Alek Oestreng's board of choice, the Armada Sicko is a tapered directional snowboard engineered for riders who want to link creative lines through real terrain while hitting every side hit on the mountain. A blend of Triax and Biax glass gives it the backbone to charge hard, while Bambooster carbon stringers add snap and maximum energy return for launching off natural features that aren't on the trail map. The Pop-Lownia Bamboo core keeps it lively and light, and directional camber with an earlyrise nose helps you float and stay in control through variable conditions. Fast, responsive, and built for those who read the mountain as much as they ride it.

Our Testers Say: "An outstanding all-mountain freestyle board that blends explosive pop with exceptional carving performance. It encourages hand drags, side hits and natural features at every opportunity, feeling lively, playful and endlessly rewarding. One of the standout boards of the entire test." "The Sicko rides with noticeable stability and is a really capable carver. It's torsionally stiff, giving quick, powerful edge-to-edge response, while remaining a proper all-mountain board that encourages you to play with everything on the hill. One tip from our test: don't size down — it rides best at your normal length. A real standout from this year's test - Armada have joined the snowboard scene and come out swinging." At Snowtrax, we try to test every ski and snowboard on the mountain before it hits our shelves, so we know it lives up to the hype. This hands-on testing across different riding styles and terrain gives our staff real expertise, letting them recommend gear based on what a customer actually needs, not just a catalogue rundown.
