The Armada ARV 96 Skis bridge the gap between all-mountain and freestyle capabilities. The ARV 96 is built with a poplar wood core and ash stringers. The light poplar is boosted by the denser ash wood and this gives the ski its higher range gear, allowing for strong off-piste skiing as well as groomer carving and park performance. As a twin tip, it’s hard to ignore the freestyle influence, but we’d be doing the ski a disservice if we labeled it as just a park ski. It has a huge application, from “Dad” skiers to tweeners, and everyone in between. And because its 96-millimeters underfoot, it just oozes all-mountain performance with the added spice of a jib stick. A Polar wood core with Ash stringers makes the ARV 96 lightweight yet responsive, while a partial sidewall construction helps keep the swing weight down for those big tricks in the park. Add Armada's AR Freestyle Rocker and the result is an all-mountain ski with freestyle DNA. Freeride skiers and terrain park enthusiasts alike will be drawn to Armada for making such a durable ski that holds up to their demands. The 2.5 impact edge and the partial cap construction in the tip and the tail enhance the durability keep the ski durable. Early morning groomers, to spring bumps to slopestyle contests, the Armada ARV 96 Skis set the bar for a true all-mountain freestyle ski.
