The 2027 Armada ARV 88 with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is built for skiers who treat the park like a proving ground. As the narrowest and stiffest ski in the ARV collection, it’s designed for maximum precision, responsiveness, and durability—ideal for competition-level freestyle skiing. With a quick 88 mm waist and a stout construction, this setup is optimized for fast transitions and high-speed control. We paired the ARV 88 with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.

Why we like it:

We love the ARV 88 because it brings a high-performance, hardpack-ready option to the freestyle scene. Whether you’re dialing in comp-level tricks or just love the feel of a precise, responsive park ski, this model delivers stability and control in spades.

Who it's for:

Perfect for advanced and expert skiers who prioritize park performance, the ARV 88 caters to riders looking for a stable, durable ski that handles jump lines and rails with confidence. It’s especially well-suited for those competing.

Highlights:

The ARV 88 features a full Poplar Core with an Ash Binding Insert to enhance binding retention and reinforce the underfoot platform, resulting in a ski with a lively, poppy flex and tons of grip on firm snow. Armada’s w3Dgewall construction boosts torsional stiffness and impact resistance, while the 2.5 Impact Edges and S7 Base ensure park-ready durability and speed. A relatively low rocker profile combined with ample camber keeps the ski locked in on edge and primed for technical performance. With a low stand height of just 17 millimeters, the 2027 Tyrolia Attack 14 offers an impressively close connection to the snow, delivering precise power transmission and a confident, locked-in feel. The FR Pro3 toe piece allows for a full 180 degrees of boot release, enhancing safety in a variety of fall scenarios, while the AFS (Anti-Friction Slider) ensures reliable re-centering and consistent release characteristics. Built to withstand hard use, the Attack 14 combines durability with performance, making it a go-to option for aggressive skiers who demand trust in their gear.

Things to consider:

This ski’s stiff flex and long effective edge make it fairly unforgiving for beginners or playful park skiers. Riders seeking a looser, surfier feel may want to consider something with softer tips and more rocker.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These skis run true to size, but because of the limited rocker and extended effective edge, many skiers will size down to improve maneuverability.
