Profile and significance Isaac “EZ Panda” Simhon is a film-first freeski original whose style-forward approach has earned attention from Europe to North America.

Profile and significance Noah Albaladejo is an Andorran freeski original whose style-first approach helped define what modern park and urban skiing looks like. He broke out in the mid-2010s with a blend of rail confidence and buttery jump control that translated as clearly in rider-judged jams as it did in polished film parts. In 2015 he won the B&E Invitational at Les Arcs and was voted European Skier of the Year by Downdays readers, a one-two that confirmed his influence beyond any single contest....

Profile and significance Philip “B-Dog” Casabon is a Canadian freeski icon from Shawinigan, Québec, whose style-first language—presses, butters, nollies, reverts, and shiftys that breathe—reshaped modern park and urban skiing.

Brand overview and significance Armada is widely recognized as skiing’s pioneering athlete-founded brand. Launched in 2002 by a crew of influential freeskiers and creatives, it set out to build equipment around how modern skiers actually ride—park, powder, streets, and big, natural terrain—rather than filtering innovation through traditional race heritage. The brand’s identity has remained anchored in rider input and film culture, with a product line that mirrors the creative, playful approach that reshaped freeskiing in the 2000s and beyond....
