The Armada ARV 88 Madsteez features a relatively short tip and tail rocker with generous splay, making it a versatile tool that can go switch with ease while still railing clean turns on the piste. Poppy, quick, and light—closer in feel to many touring skis—the ARV 88 is designed to make even an ordinary day on the mountain feel like something worth celebrating.
The Freestyle Rocker profile combines rockered tips and tails with positive camber underfoot, allowing the ski to charge confidently through unpredictable snow while still holding a solid carve when needed, turning the whole mountain into a playground. A 100% Poplar wood core delivers stability, power, and ease, offering predictable, smooth performance across a range of snow conditions. Ash binding inserts provide strong binding retention with a more sustainable construction compared to inserts made from other materials, while the durable, low-maintenance S7 Base includes a speed additive to help maintain quickness on the snow.
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.
W3dgewall Sidewall: 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.
S7 Base: Durable and low maintenance, with a speed additive for quickness.
2.5 Impact Edge: Oversized and specially heat-treated, this edge is built to resist impact damage in the most demanding situations.
