The 2027 Armada ARV 94 is the all-mountain twin crossover king, the trusty multi-tool of the ARV lineup. With a versatile shape, a durable build, and tip and tail rocker, it's a daily driver for skiers who want to carve, slash, and boost across a variety of conditions.

Why we like it:

The 94-mm waist is in a sweet spot that matches a lot of skiers' actual conditions. Wide enough to handle a few inches of fresh, narrow enough to feel quick and energetic on hardpack. Add the freestyle-twin shape and you get a do-everything ski that genuinely does it all.

Who it's for:

Intermediate through advanced skiers who want a versatile, freestyle-friendly all-mountain ski. Ideal for daily drivers, weekend warriors, and park-leaning skiers who still want enough ski to handle off-trail conditions.

Highlights:

The Poplar core is the foundation, giving this ski the snap and energy that the ARV line is known for. Ash binding inserts stiffen up the mount zone for landings and harder driving turns. The W3DGEWALL 3D-molded sidewall construction creates a stronger, more uniform sidewall-to-core bond and keeps the weight low, which matters on a daily driver this size. Freestyle Rocker keeps tip and tail rocker for soft-snow capability and switch riding, with positive camber underfoot for edge hold on firmer snow. Impact Edges hold up to park and ice abuse, and the S7 sintered base keeps glide and durability where it should be. AR75 sidewalls finish off a build that's clearly designed to be skied hard, every day, in every condition.

Things to consider:

The freestyle-twin shape leans more toward playful than aggressive. Hard chargers looking for a stouter, faster ski in this width should look at the AntiMatter 92 or 100 instead.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to length. Stick to your usual all-mountain length.
