2023-2024 Armada ARV 88 Unisex's Skis

Product Story
Boost mode engaged. The narrowest and stiffest ski in the ARV Series, the ARV 88 has a Poplar Core paired with w3Dgewall construction to provide maximum edge hold and pop in the gnarliest conditions from rutted-out inruns to icy pipe walls. Featuring more camber and a shorter turn radius underfoot, the ARV 88 has a more traditional turn shape and feel compared to other ARVs, while an elongated turn radius in the tip and tail eliminates any hooky behavior on takeoffs and landings. The ARV 88 is cmpetition proven and ready to send.

Tech Features
AR FREESTYLE ROCKER
Rockered tips and tails are combined with positive camber underfoot allowing the ski to float and track through deep, variable snow while maintaining solid edge hold in firmer conditions.
POPLAR CORE
The 100% Poplar Core delivers stability, power, and pop for predictable response without excess weight.
ASH BINDING INSERT
Hardwood binding insert provides superior screw retention.
2.5 IMPACT EDGE
Oversized and specially heat treated, this edge is supremely durable and built to resist impact damage.
S7 BASE
A sintered base optimized for speed, durability and wax retention.
W3DGEWALL
The w3Dgewall is a 3D molded, injected sidewall that’s angled where it joins the wood core. During ski construction, this creates a mechanical bond in the mold and a more uniform connection between the sidewall and core. With more material in strategic areas and a three-dimensional taper in the tip and tail, the w3Dgewall balances ideal performance characteristcs with reduced weights.
