Armada ARW 88 Ski - 2027 - Women's Black/Lavender, 166cm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying""The ARW 88 is the kind of ski that makes a normal day feel more fun than it has any right to be. It's quick edge to edge, light enough to play around with, and the 2. 5 Impact Edge means you're not babying it on hardpack or rocky early-season runs. I'd reach for this on a bluebird groomer day just as fast as a variable storm day. It just wants to ski.""Who It's ForIntermediate to Advanced All-Mountain SkiersSkiers who want a responsive, maneuverable daily driver that handles the full resort without feeling sluggish or demanding. The ARW 88 suits riders who prioritize quick, energetic skiing on varied terrain and want a ski that holds up to frequent use without sacrificing feel. What It's ForAll-Mountain TerrainThe ARW 88 is built for skiers who want a nimble, versatile ski for everyday resort use. The 88mm waist sits in the sweet spot for groomed runs and light off-piste, and the freestyle rocker profile keeps turns quick and transitions smooth across changing snow conditions. Why We Like ItLightweight Build with Durable BonesThe ARW 88 runs a 100% poplar core that keeps the ski lively and responsive without adding unnecessary weight. W3dgewall construction bonds the sidewall directly to the core for a strong, unified feel that translates energy into the snow efficiently.
