Armada ARW 94

At 94mm underfoot, this ski is designed as a versatile all-mountain tool rather than a dedicated powder ski. It will handle a few inches of fresh snow just fine, but if you primarily ski deep backcountry powder, you might want something wider.

The AR Freestyle Rocker is designed to balance maneuverability with edge hold. While it makes turn initiation smooth and easy, you can still rely on the sandwich sidewall construction to provide solid grip when you're carving on groomed runs.

The ARW 94 is approachable enough for an ambitious beginner, but it really shines for intermediate to advanced skiers. Its responsive poplar core and twin-tip shape are best utilized by someone who is comfortable controlling their speed and looking to progress their skills across the whole mountain.

It is a true 50/50 ski. The twin-tip design and lightweight poplar core make it playful enough for rails and jumps in the park, while the 94mm waist and stable construction provide the reliability you need for navigating trees, bumps, and groomers.

With a turn radius between 15.5 and 17 meters, this ski sits in the sweet spot for versatility. It is tight enough to make quick, snappy turns in the trees or bumps, but stable enough to hold a longer, drawn-out carve when you open it up on a groomer.
