When evo and Armada decide to get to cookin', you know it's about to be one hot kitchen. Give the Armada ARV 96 UL Skis a taste and you won't know what hit you.

Pop a five, grease a rail or shoot that line, the Armada ARV 96 UL Skis give all-mountain a whole new meaning.
Product Details
Rocker Type
AR Freestyle Rocker – Rockered tips and tails are combined with positve camber under foot 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.
Core
Caruba / Poplar Woodcore – A balance of a super lightweight wood (Caruba) and a more stable, durable and damp heavier density wood (Poplar).
Laminates
Titanal Binding Reinforcement – Dampness, stability, confidence. Nice and lightweight with the confidence of having metal underfoot where you need it most.
Adaptive Mesh – Variable degree Xrystal Mesh absorbs vibrations in the direction they arrive into the ski to filter bad vibes before they reach your boots.
Rubber Dampening Layers
Sidewalls
AR75 Sidewalls – Sidewalls provide improved edge pressure under the boot, while cap constuction in the tip and tail provides smooth turn initiation and less hookiness - 75% sidewall, 25% cap.
Base
S7 Base – Durable and low maintenance, with a speed additive for quickness.
Edges
2.2 Impact Edge – Heat treated and built to avoid excess weight while maintaining durability, this edges gives the best balance of durability and feel of the whole Armada collection.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Park & Pipe, All-Mountain

Terrain
Park & Pipe Park 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. All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether 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
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/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 17-22 m radius is best for all-mountain and park & pipe.

Tail Type:
Full Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Full Twin Tip Desinged 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.
