Product Info
When Armada started they introduced two models- one for park and one for the steep and deep. The Armada ARV was originally the ski for the all-mountain arena and is left standing as the only model still in the line since its inception- of course with a variety of improvements. If you ski all over the mountain but ride the park on occasion, then this is the ski for you. For 2007/2008 Armada shaved weight and added more vertical stiffness with the re-designed AR Core 2 and heat-treated 2.5 Impact Edge. A generous sidecut and stiffer flex profile keeps the ARV stable at high speeds, while remaining nimble. Fully twin-tipped, lightweight, and finished with craftsmanship, the ARV is truly Armada’s high-performance all-mountain ski.

Other Features
50/50 Base- A blend of two base materials that creates better speed for Armada’s wider skis.
AR Core 2- The outer edges of the core are more strategically targeted with a strong wood laminate, without the hardwood center you find in Armada AR Core 1. This provides durability and further weight savings.
ABS Construction- Armada’s strongest and most performance based type of construction. This type of construction is more material and labor intensive than cap construction.
Sandwich Fiberglass- The perfect blend of Uni & Bi directional composite fiberglass mixed with carbon fiber stringers creates a union that provides positive edge control and precisely the right amount of torsion and pop.
2.5 Edge- These oversized edges are heat treated to Armada’s custom specifications to help minimize edge breakage and maximize durability. (120/89/109 - 19.2m @ 165cm), (125/92/114 - 20.5m @ 175cm)

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
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

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.
