The 2027 Armada ARV 106 with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings earns its one-ski-quiver billing, an all-mountain twin that floats through soft snow and stiffens up when the terrain demands a harder push. An updated W3DGEWALL build and a smooth, round flex let it cover nearly everything an average skier asks for on a single pair. We paired the ARV 106 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:

Carving, charging, slashing, buttering: the ARV 106 handles all of them without feeling like it gave up ground on any one. That kind of honest range is uncommon on a ski this wide, and it reads as a fatter ski in powder and a trimmer one on hardpack, which is about the best compliment an all-mountain twin can earn.

Who it's for:

Skiers from advanced through expert who want one ski for groomers, powder, and everything between are the natural fit. Think traveling skiers, true quiver-of-one shoppers, and freestyle-leaning riders who like popping off whatever the run serves up.

Highlights:

Sized at a versatile 106 mm waist, it leans on a Poplar core for the lively, energetic feel the ARV name is built on. Stiffer ash inserts sit right under the binding so the ski tracks cleanly through hard turns and settles landings, and the injected, 3D-molded W3DGEWALL sidewall fuses mechanically to the wood for extra toughness and uniformity at no weight cost. Freestyle Rocker lifts the tip and tail for soft snow and switch riding while camber underfoot grips on groomers, backed by an Impact Edge that shrugs off rails and rough snow and an S7 sintered base for reliable glide. 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:

Its freestyle-twin shape and forgiving flex mean this is not the ski for someone chasing maximum top-end stability. Skiers who value speed and damping over play will likely prefer something stouter out of the AntiMatter range.

Fit & sizing considerations:

It comes up honest on length. Hold to your everyday all-mountain size, or nudge longer for more composure in big terrain.
