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. Competition proven park performance and Armada’s most durable construction to date mean the ARV 88 is prepared to take a beating and is ready to send.

AR FREESTYLE ROCKER
Rocker in the tip and tail is combined with positive camber underfoot, allowing for predictable, maneuverable and hook-free performance in variable snow while maintaining solid edge hold in firmer conditions.

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.

ASH BINDING INSERT
Ash binding inserts provide maximum strength and binding retention with a more sustainable construction than binding inserts made from other materials.

2.5 IMPACT EDGE
Oversized and specially heat treated, this edge is built to resist impact damage in the most demanding situations.

S7 BASE
A sintered base optimized for speed, durability and wax retention.

W3DGEWALL
The w3Dgewall is a radical reimagining of ski design. Our engineers went to work on a unique concept to create 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 during ski construction for a stronger, more uniform connection between the sidewall and core. With more material in critical areas for added durability and a three-dimensional taper in the tip and tail, the w3Dgewall creates a ski that will stand up to more abuse while providing enhanced edge grip at reduced weights.
