Armada ARV

While the 112mm waist is optimized for deep snow, the ARV 112 is surprisingly versatile. Its rocker profile and damp flex allow it to handle variable conditions and groomed runs better than most dedicated powder skis, making it a solid choice for all-mountain riding when the snow is soft.

The AR Freestyle Rocker features a long, low profile that provides significant float in powder while maintaining effective edge contact on firmer snow. It allows for a playful, surfy feel that is easy to pivot and slash, without sacrificing the stability needed for higher speeds.

The 2.5 Impact Edge is thicker than standard edges, specifically designed to withstand the abuse of rails, boxes, and hidden rocks. It offers increased longevity and resistance to cracking, which is essential if you plan on using these skis for freestyle maneuvers or in rocky terrain.

The ARV 112 is generally better suited for intermediate to advanced skiers. Its width and specific rocker profile require a certain level of technique to maneuver effectively, especially in non-powder conditions where the wider platform demands more active edge engagement.

The W3DGEWALL construction is designed to enhance the ski's durability and power transmission. By integrating the sidewall directly into the core, it creates a more robust edge hold and a smoother, more damp ride, which helps reduce chatter when you are charging through choppy snow.
