Ski's with similar shape as the armada alpha series

I had some Alpha X’s back in the day. So fun. RMU does some shapes like that with the super early taper like the Apostle.

Fauna Pioneer too

I really regret not buying these at the time, they were so cool.

You don't see them mentioned on NS much, but Skevik does some skis with that same sort of "5-point" taper. Take a look at the Anton 102.

I still rock my alpha x's often, kinda looking for a replacement to those bentchetler 100's are a litte underwhelming
 
bdogs are quite the same but with a wider tail. the old bdogs were the exact same ski as the alpha x.
 
Fat-ypus has several 5-point models, the smallest of which (94mm underfoot) is probably the most similar to the original alpha series:https://www.fat-ypus.com/product/dlirium/

Unfortunately, I don't think they are going to be making this ski anymore, but they have some larger versions (the B.U. at 102mm underfoot) still in production. I personally own the M5 (106mm version of this shape) and I absolutely love the tight sidecut radius achieved by the 5-point design.
 
I’d also be stoked on some Alpha style skis. I loved that ski. Something with a tight side cut radius, but lots of tip taper to keep the swing weight down. And of course rocker. Everything these days has mild taper, rocker, and long side cut radius. Then if you find a short radius ski, it has fat tips with minimal rocker. Those wide ass tips are unwieldy in the park or ripping chop snow. Maybe Armada will make a throwback Alpha.
 
Came back to this thread. Love that shape still. We should all buy Fauna Pioneers
