Description

The figurehead of the ARV range, the ARV 96 is the link between the snowpark and the all-mountain practice. Wide without being too voluminous, tonic without being too rigid, light yet robust, the ARV 96 is well balanced. It has all the necessary ingredients to send throughout the resort.  

What is the programme of the Armada ARV 96 alpine ski?    

Like the whole ARV range, the ARV 96 benefits from a construction optimised for freestyle: it has a bispatulated shape for switching and reinforced edges to resist impacts on the rails. There is also a light and tonic shell, made of poplar and ash, which offers an explosive pop while maintaining playability on the spatulas. With the addition of a double rocker and a 96 mm waist width, this ski works well in powder and pivots easily on all terrains. On the piste and in the park, the ski retains dynamism, manoeuvrability and grip, even if it clearly doesn't have the precision of a slalom ski. At the same time, we don't care about the slalom, except maybe in the powder snow between the pines! The ARV 96 will allow you to throw anything you can think of, whether it's in the park, on the edges of the piste or in normal backcountry conditions. Its only limit will be in very deep snow, where it will flutter a little in terms of flotation compared to its older sibling, the ARV 116. 

Who is the Armada ARV 96 alpine ski intended for?    

This model is intended for freeskiers with a good level, looking to vary the terrain, switch skiing and send a maximum of tricks. Although the ARV 96 is a recreational ski, we still recommend it to experienced or expert skiers.

Tips and advice

On glisshop.co.uk, you may feel overwhelmed by the amount of products we sell. How can you find the right skis, which ones can suit your level, your style or your budget?

Your options: 

1. The advanced search engine: You'll find it everywhere on our website, as a sidebar on our listing pages. It allows you to select conditions and refine your selection: brand, level, style, etc. When you select them, only the relevant products will show. 

2. You can contact us on the 020 3129 3301: skis feature fine technologies and affect your safety. It is important to make sure that the skis you've selected will suit you. Call our landline and get in touch with our team for any questions regarding these products. 

During the process or your order, we'll ask you to complete a form about the mounting of your bindings. With these details, we will be able to mount the bindings with the correct settings. The release value of the bindings is set by a professional skiman, and according to the norm AFNOR FD S 52-748.

If you don't have your own ski boots when you order, the bindings will be pre-mounted. The final settings can be done :

- by a shop if you are renting your ski boots

- by our skiman : you can call us for any technical questions. Our skiman will do the final settings for you. Telephone : 020 3129 3301

All skis you purchase on our website are factory-waxed and tuned. This means they are ready to hit the slopes. However, gear tends to wear and in order to keep it in its best shape, you need to maintain base and edges on a regular basis.

Maintaining your skis is essential for a smooth glide and a solit grip. Frequency of maintenance may vary depending on how often you use your skis, or on how damaged they are. We recommend you to wax them every 10 riding days and at the end of the season. Edges need to be tuned up to 2 times per season if you want to keep a good edge control. However, don't overdo it. Tuning is basically scraping off material. If you do it too often, the edges will vanish after some time.

When your base is damaged and shows shallow scratches or rock gouge, it is possible to repair it.

You can get these repairs done by professional ski shop, or if the gouge is only superficial you may repair it yourself. To do so, you will need special tools and materials such as wax, Ptex for repairing bases, edge sharpeners, etc. You can find them on our website.

All products benefit from a manufacturer guarantee, as long as the damage is caused by a manufacturing defect (may it be hidden or obvious).

Usually, the manufacturer guarantee lasts two years.

Only the manufacturer is able to decide if there has been a 'manufacturing defect' or a 'misuse'. Glisshop is only an intermediary between you and the manufacturer.

The manufacturer's guarantee will not apply if the problem comes from a misuse.
