Armada Arv and Arw

The Armada ARV and ARW range covers a freestyle approach that evolves from the snowpark to the whole resort, then on to soft snow and the backcountry as the waist width increases. The line includes adult ARV models, women’s ARW models and the ARV 100 Jr, with different constructions, performance levels and preferred terrains. You can find these skis on their own or as Armada skis with bindings, as well as the other products offered by Armada.

Armada ARV 84: the most accessible park model

The Armada ARV 84 is the most direct entry into the ARV family. Its 84 mm waist keeps swing weight down during edge-to-edge transitions and makes repeated moves between piste and features easier. It is a good option for skiers who want to progress in freestyle without immediately moving to the more substantial construction of the ARV 88.

Its hybrid core combines poplar with a composite material. This is complemented by AR50 sidewalls and a profile combining traditional camber underfoot with rocker in the tip and tail. This bi-directional shape allows skiing switch and makes spins easier.

Two versions are currently available. The Black Edition is rated for beginner to intermediate ability, while the Madsteez is intended for intermediate to advanced skiers. The ability level should therefore be checked.

  • Construction: poplar-composite hybrid core and AR50 sidewalls

  • Profile: traditional camber with tip and tail rocker

  • Lengths: 150, 157, 164 and 171 cm depending on the version

Armada ARV 88: more structure for committed park skiing

The Armada ARV 88 keeps a freestyle use case centred on the snowpark and piste, but it is not simply an ARV 84 that has been widened by four millimetres. Its construction is based on a poplar core, ash inserts underfoot and W3DGEWALL sidewalls on the checked recent generation.

Its 88 mm platform provides more area underfoot for take-offs and landings. Even so, it remains compact enough to keep the ski very much park-orientated. The ARV 88 is therefore aimed at skiers who carry more speed on features and want more support than the ARV 84 offers.

  • Construction: poplar core, ash inserts and W3DGEWALL sidewalls

  • Profile: camber underfoot with tip and tail rocker

  • Lengths: 161, 166, 171, 176 and 181 cm

Armada ARV 94: keep the park, but roam the resort

The Armada ARV 94 remains classed in the freestyle category by Glisshop. Its 94 mm waist, however, gives it more surface area when the snow becomes uneven or when the skier leaves the features to explore the piste and piste edges.

Compared with the ARV 88, its width can make edge changes slightly less immediate. In return, it provides more support in soft snow. The ARV 94 is therefore suited to a style where the park remains important without necessarily filling the whole day.

  • Construction: poplar core, ash inserts and W3DGEWALL sidewalls

  • Profile: camber underfoot with tip and tail rocker

  • Lengths: 157, 164, 171, 178 and 185 cm

Armada ARV 100: the move towards backcountry freestyle

With the Armada ARV 100, the series crosses the 100 mm waist threshold and Glisshop shifts the main use case from freestyle to backcountry. The ski still retains a twin-tip shape and rockered ends: it remains suited to spins, landings and switch skiing rather than purely directional use.

The ARV 100 is an intermediate choice for skiers who still spend time in the park but devote an increasing share of their days to piste edges, soft snow and natural terrain. The ARV 94 remains more immediate on firmer snow, while the ARV 106 offers more float.

  • Construction: poplar core, ash inserts and W3DGEWALL sidewalls

  • Profile: camber underfoot with tip and tail rocker

  • Lengths: 158, 165, 172, 179 and 186 cm

Armada ARV 106: from park to deeper snow

The Armada ARV 106 strengthens the backcountry side of the series. Its 106 mm waist increases surface area compared with the ARV 100 and makes the ski more suitable for soft snow, tree runs and terrain features used as natural features.

Its camber underfoot still gives support when the snow firms up, while the tip and tail rocker help with pivoting and switch skiing. This format is still usable in the resort, but it will feel less immediate on hard snow than the ARV 94 and 100.

  • Construction: poplar core, ash inserts and W3DGEWALL sidewalls

  • Profile: camber underfoot with tip and tail rocker

  • Lengths: 164, 172, 180 and 188 cm

Armada ARV 112: powder takes priority

The Armada ARV 112 is the widest model in the ARV comparison. Its 112 mm waist increases the platform available for skiing fresh snow and places the ski in a more specialised category than the ARV 106.

Its bi-directional shape and tip and tail rocker keep the series’ freestyle orientation. The ARV 112 is therefore still intended for spins, landings and pivoted turns. Its width, however, makes it less quick edge-to-edge than the other ARVs when the snow is firm. It really comes into its own when soft snow and open terrain are a genuine priority.

  • Construction: poplar core, ash inserts and W3DGEWALL sidewalls

  • Profile: camber underfoot with tip and tail rocker

  • Lengths: 165, 175, 185 and 192 cm

Armada ARV 106 Ti: two generations reinforced with ATB titanal

The Armada ARV 106 Ti keeps a 106 mm waist but adds an ATB – Articulated Titanal Banding metal reinforcement. This construction is designed to increase damping and stability when speed rises or the snow gets chopped up.

Even so, the ARV 106 Ti remains a twin-tip ski with a profile combining camber underfoot and rockers at the ends. It should therefore not be presented as a pure directional freeride ski: its shape retains a freestyle bias and the ability to ski switch.

  • Ability level: advanced to expert on both generations

  • Backcountry use case

  • Lengths: 164, 172, 180 and 188 cm

  • Construction: Poplar Core, ATB titanal, W3DGEWALL sidewalls, 2.5 Impact edges and S7 base

  • Ash inserts

The ARW line follows a progression similar to the ARV range, but each reference must be considered separately. You should not assume that an ARW is automatically a softer or lighter version of the ARV with the same width.

Armada ARW 84: progress in freestyle with an accessible construction

The Armada ARW 84 is the narrowest and most accessible model in the women’s range. Glisshop rates it for beginner to intermediate ability, which sets it apart from the wider ARWs.

Its 84 mm waist makes edge transitions and skiing on piste or in the park easier. It uses a poplar-composite hybrid core and AR50 sidewalls rather than the W3DGEWALL construction found on several higher-end models.

  • Construction: poplar-composite hybrid core and AR50 sidewalls

  • Profile: camber underfoot with tip and tail rocker

  • Lengths: 143, 150, 157, 164 and 171 cm

Armada ARW 88: a more structured platform for the park

The Armada ARW 88 remains classed as freestyle, but its construction has evolved compared with the ARW 84. On the checked generation, the poplar core receives ash inserts underfoot and W3DGEWALL sidewalls.

Its 88 mm waist gives more surface area to support take-offs and landings. It is aimed at intermediate to advanced skiers who want to maintain a predominantly park-based style while having more support than on the ARW 84.

  • Construction: poplar core, ash inserts and W3DGEWALL sidewalls

  • Profile: camber underfoot with tip and tail rocker

  • Lengths: 156, 161, 166 and 171 cm

Armada ARW 94: from park to the rest of the resort

The Armada ARW 94 marks the move into the backcountry category in Glisshop’s classification. Even so, its width remains compact enough to keep the park, piste and frequent direction changes highly relevant.

Compared with the ARW 88, the extra six millimetres increase float and provide more support when the snow becomes soft or uneven. The ARW 94 is therefore well suited to a skier who wants to leave the snowpark more often without immediately stepping up to the wider ARW 100.

  • Construction: poplar core, ash inserts and W3DGEWALL sidewalls

  • Profile: camber underfoot with tip and tail rocker

  • Lengths: 157, 164, 171 and 178 cm

Armada ARW 100: more room for soft snow

At 100 mm underfoot, the Armada ARW 100 boosts float compared with the ARW 94 and shifts the use case further towards piste edges, natural terrain and soft snow.

Its bi-directional shape and profile combining camber underfoot with rockers at the ends maintain a freestyle-oriented ride. The ARW 100 is more suited than the ARW 106 to a style split regularly between piste, park and ungroomed areas.

  • Construction: poplar core, ash inserts and W3DGEWALL sidewalls

  • Profile: camber underfoot with tip and tail rocker

  • Lengths: 158, 165, 172 and 179 cm

Armada ARW 106: the most backcountry-oriented women’s model

The Armada ARW 106 is the widest women’s model on this page. Its 106 mm waist improves its ease in soft snow and on natural terrain. It will, however, feel less immediate on firm snow than the ARW 94 and 100.

Glisshop aims it at advanced to expert skiers and classifies it in the backcountry category. Its specification sheet simultaneously lists a Poplar Core, ash inserts, W3DGEWALL construction and an AR75 sidewall. These details are reproduced without inferring any particular hierarchy between the two sidewall references.

  • Construction: Poplar Core, ash inserts, W3DGEWALL sidewalls and AR75 sidewall mention

  • Profile: AR Freestyle Rocker

  • Lengths: 164, 172 and 180 cm

Armada ARV 100 Jr: the junior model for progressing off-piste

The Armada ARV 100 Jr is a distinct junior model, not merely a shortened adult ARV 100. Its moulded hybrid core is designed for lighter riders, while its 2.1 All Mountain edges differ from the 2.5 Impact edges used on many adult models.

At 100 mm underfoot, it is aimed at young skiers who are already independent and starting to explore piste edges, fresh snow and natural terrain. The camber underfoot keeps support on the run-outs, while the tip and tail rockers make pivoting and switch skiing easier.

  • Use: backcountry

  • Ability level: intermediate to advanced

  • Waist width: 100 mm

  • Lengths: 148, 156 and 164 cm

  • Construction: Molded Hybrid Core, ash inserts and W3DGEWALL sidewalls

  • Profile: AR Freestyle Rocker

  • Edges and base: 2.1 All Mountain edges and S7 base

ARV 94 or ARV 100: which should you choose?

The ARV 94 is the more logical choice when the snowpark, piste and lively handling are the priorities. The ARV 100 offers more float and greater ease in soft snow, but requires more effort to transition quickly from one edge to the other. For mainly freestyle resort skiing, the 94 still has the edge. For splitting more days between park, piste and piste edges, the 100 makes more sense.

ARV 100 or ARV 106: what’s the difference?

The ARV 100 remains an all-mountain freestyle ski that can be used every day in a resort. The ARV 106 places a much stronger emphasis on fresh snow, pivoting and natural terrain. The choice therefore depends on more than just the 6 mm difference in waist width: what matters most is the proportion of time actually spent on firm snow and in the park. The 100 is more versatile; the 106 is more specialised.

Armada ARV or Declivity: two different behaviours

The ARVs favour twin-tip shape, pivoting, switch skiing and a creative approach. The skis in the Armada Declivity range take a more directional approach, with a stronger emphasis on carved turns, edge hold and stability as speed increases. A skier looking for freestyle performance will be more drawn to the ARVs; a skier after more precise alpine handling will prefer the Declivity models.
