The Armada ARV 106 offers a lot of different applications, but it was designed and built for the skier who spends a lot of time seeking out natural features and playful terrain covered in fresh powder and or soft snow. From cliff drops and cornices to booters, the ARV 106 is a trickster of a ski that gives back what you put in. Constructed with a core built from a hybrid of poplar and ash wood, the lighter poplar is bolstered by the denser ash, as there are two main stringers of ash that run the length of the ski. This combination of wood makes for a smooth and stable feel, increasing the overall energy of the ski and keeping skiers who need a bit more substance underfoot satisfied. Width-appropriate rocker and taper complete the shape and profile, as it’s a fantastic floater with its 106-millimeter waist. Tremendously smooth and very easy edge release, which helps if you're going to take it off trail and into more technical terrain. The ARV 106 really shines when smearing, slashing, and playing through soft snow in more open terrain. If you are a park skier who wants a wider ski, or a western skier who splits their time between the park and the rest of the mountain, the Armada ARV 106 Skis will be your ticket.
