Sammy Carlson, an American freeskier that specializes in slopestyle competitions, has signed with Armada at the age of 26 after much speculation. Sammy has a decorated history with all of his amazing accomplishments. He took his first of many X-Games medals in 2007, landed the world’s first switch-triple rodeo in 2010, and has insane abilities when skiing in the backcountry.
The Armada Team is now frighteningly stacked holding:
- Sammy Carlson
- Tanner Hall
- Tod Ligare
- Henrik Harlaut
- Jimmy Chin
- Ian Provo
- Torin Yater-Wallace
- and more…
Sammy Carlson and Armada drew up the deal while filming Teton Gravity Research’s, “The Sammy C Project,” which took place over the course of two years. The movie works to portray Sammy as a backcountry freeskier, despite his popularity in the slopestyle competition scene. He is working to expand his horizons and become a freeskier and he feels as though signing with Armada is a great way to do so.
“Skiing is an art, it’s a lifelong passion. Whatever you do, it’s all about the adventure. Skiing is what you make it,” Sammy Carlson told Armada.
