Armada ARV 112 Ski - 2026 Madsteez, 185cm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""The ARV 112 is that rare ski that can throw tricks in deep snow, hold a carve on firmer sections, and take a beating—all without feeling one-dimensional. It’s wide enough to float, nimble enough to spin, and stable enough to push fast in soft chop. It’s my favorite ski for storm days with a freestyle edge.""Who It’s ForAdvanced Freestyle and Powder Skiers:This ski is for riders who thrive on mixing freestyle creativity with deep-snow capability. Ideal for advanced to expert skiers who want to ride switch, spin, and stomp in powder, yet still carve confidently when conditions are variable. What It’s ForFreestyle Powder and Creative All-Mountain Lines:With a 112mm waist and AR Freestyle Rocker, the ARV 112 is optimized for storm-day laps, backcountry booters, and creative freeride terrain. It’s built to surf powder, crush side hits, and stay playful whether you’re on a pillow line or park-inspired feature. Why We Like ItDurability, Playfulness, and Float in One Package:We like the ARV 112 because it refuses to compromise between freestyle fun and powder performance. The poplar wood core keeps it stable and smooth, the w3Dgewall construction and Impact Edges add durability, and the twin-tip design means unlimited creativity in both directions. It’s our go-to ski for keeping storm days playful and powerful."
