Armada ARV

While 106mm underfoot is on the wider side, the ARV 106 is surprisingly nimble. It handles groomers well, but if you spend 90% of your time on hard-packed ice, you might find a narrower ski more responsive edge-to-edge.

The rocker profile is designed specifically to keep the tips afloat in soft snow. Combined with the Smear Tech beveling, it allows for easy, surfy turns in powder without feeling like the ski is diving or hooking.

The Poplar and Ash core provides a medium flex that balances playfulness with stability. It is damp enough to handle variable snow and chop confidently, though it isn't a dedicated, rock-stiff charger meant for high-speed racing.

Absolutely. The twin-tip design and balanced flex profile make them very capable in the park. The 2.5 Impact Edge is also built to withstand the abuse of rails and boxes, making it a durable choice for freestyle riding.

This ski is ideal for the advanced rider who wants a 'one-ski quiver.' It fits someone who splits their time between the park, backcountry side-hits, and general all-mountain exploration.
