Expand your definition of what’s possible in the park with the Armada ARW 88 Skis. A poplar core, camber underfoot, and classic Armada flex and style make it a formidable park beast that gets down and dirty with all types of features. w3Dgewall sidewall construction beefs up durability, and an ash insert underneath the bindings reinforces an especially vulnerable area so you can go into the day with confidence your gear will hold up. Whether you’re jumping metal balls or hitting threes, even falls will be fun on the Armada ARW 88 Skis.

Rocker Type

AR Freestyle Rocker– Rockered tips and tails are combined with positive camber underfoot to allow the ski to charge with ease through unpredictable snow and maintain a solid carve when asked to do so. Turn the whole mountain into your playground.

Flex

Flex (1=Soft, 10=Stiff)– Tip: 6 | Mid: 6 | Tail: 7

Core

Poplar Core– Stability, power, and ease are paramount in this 100% poplar wood core. For those looking for predictability and smoothness, the Poplar core delivers in all snow conditions.

Laminates

Ash Binding Insert– Ash binding inserts provide maximum strength and bindingretention with a more sustainable construction thanbinding inserts made from other materials.

Sidewalls

w3Dgewall– The w3Dgewall is a radical reimagining of ski design. Our engineers went to work on a unique concept tocreate the most durable, highest performance construction we’ve ever built. The w3Dgewall is a 3D molded,injected sidewall that’s angled where it joins the wood core, creating a mechanical bond in the mold duringski construction for a stronger, more uniform connection between the sidewall and core. With more material incritical areas for added durability and a three-dimensional taper in the tip and tail, the w3Dgewall creates a skithat will stand up to more abuse while providing enhanced edge grip at reduced weights.

Base

S7 Base– Durable and low maintenance, with a speed additive for quickness.

Edges

2.5 Impact Edge– Oversized and specially heat-treated, this edge is built to resist impact damage in the most demanding situations.

Binding Compatibility

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain: Park & Pipe Park & PipePark and pipe skis, often called freestyle skis, are for skiers who spend the majority of their time on jumps, rails, and jibs of all kinds. Traditionally park and pipe skis have narrower waists with full camber profiles, but this category is incorporating more rocker patterns and different shapes. You will almost always find these skis with twin tips as well as other park specific features like thicker, more durable edges, dense extruded bases, and butter zones.

Skis: No Bindings

Ability Level: Intermediate-Advanced Intermediate-AdvancedWhether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type: Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/RockerRocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Turning Radius: Medium Medium17-22 m radius is best for all-mountain and park & pipe.

Core/Laminates: Wood

Tail Type: Full Twin Tip Full Twin TipDesinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
