The newly redesigned Armada ARV 100 is an all-mountain freestyle ski that is just as at home in the park as anywhere else on the mountain. Likely being the most versatile ski in the ARV line, the ARV 100 delivers performance wherever you go. Whether it’s sliding rails and sending it off jumps or exploring the mountain looking for a few fresh inches of powder, this ski will be asking for seconds.

Why we like it:

Pure versatility, this is a skier’s version of a Swiss-Army knife. Like the infamous Atomic Bent 100, the ARV 100 is a do-it-all ski that has just the right blend of a variety of characteristics. It’s even flex pattern makes for round carved turns and its semi symmetrical shape permits high level park maneuvers.

Who it's for:

Freestyle oriented skiers that seek a one ski quiver for the park and exploring the mountain need to look no further than the ARV 100. Anyone from an intermediate up to a professional would get the most out of this ski.

Highlights:

A poplar wood core with an ash binding reinforcement insert provides an even energetic, poppy feel with a good amount of stability when at higher speeds and with heavy landings. W3dgewall Sidewalls make them extremely durable and protect against big impacts on rails and rocks.

Things to consider:

Being a freestyle twin tip all-mountain ski, the ARV 100 is not going to perform the best on firm and icy snow conditions. However, on pack-powder groomers, these skis can make some incredible turns. The ARV 100 does have a few mount locations, an all-mountain and a freestyle mount point. These are self-explanatory but have a big influence on how the ski will perform so be sure to consider your personal application.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to size. You can go slightly shorter than usual if you are mostly going to be in the park. If you are going to be using these in a mostly all-mountain format, you will want to stay true to size, or go a little longer than your typical ski length.
