The 2026 Armada ARW 100 is the flagship all-mountain twin for women who ski it all and do it their own way. Built with a 100 mm waist and a freestyle-forward mindset, it blends stability, float, and creativity into one confident, go-anywhere ride.

Why we like it:

It’s playful without being flimsy, strong without being stiff. The ARW 100 walks the line between power and pressability better than just about any ski in its class.

Who it's for:

Intermediate to expert skiers who want a ski that thrives in the park, handles chop, floats in soft snow, and still rips turns on groomers. Perfect for women who blur the line between all-mountain and freestyle.

Highlights:

With AR Freestyle Rocker and a 100 mm waist, the ARW 100 is primed for creative skiing across a variety of terrain. A lightweight Caruba wood core keeps things nimble, while an ash insert underfoot boosts power and binding retention. Armada’s w3Dgewall sidewall improves edge hold and durability, and the 2.5 Impact Edge and S7 base are park-proven for longevity and speed. The flex pattern is centered and balanced; it's slightly softer in the tip and tail, with a stronger feel underfoot, giving the ski both press-friendly playfulness and support where it counts.

Things to consider:

This isn’t a race ski or a pow-specific floater. The ARW 100 does a lot well, but it's built with freestyle priorities, so skiers who want maximum carving precision or deep-snow surf may want to size accordingly or consider a more directional model.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to size. If between sizes, go longer if you prefer high speed performance and added on-trail stability, go shorter if you prefer more control or have a freestyle focus.
