The Armada ARV 88 Black Edition is a high-energy freestyle all-mountain ski built for riders who want park precision with enough backbone to carve hard and charge groomers. With its 88mm waist and lively construction, it’s quick edge-to-edge, poppy off features, and stable enough to handle aggressive skiing in both park and resort terrain.
At its core, the ARV 88 uses a 100% poplar wood core that keeps things light, energetic, and responsive, delivering strong natural pop for jumps and transitions. The AR Freestyle Rocker profile blends camber underfoot for edge grip with rocker in the tips and tails for easy turn initiation and playful maneuverability. Reinforced with w3DGEWALL construction and a 2.5mm impact edge, this ski is built to take hits on rails, landings, and hardpack without losing performance.
