The iconic Armada ARV and ARW Series are reborn. The genre-defining all-mountain freestyle skis, from the same lineage of the original ski Armada came to market with, have been completely redesigned, resulting in the highest performing, most durable collections Armada's ever built. 20 years after the AR5 shook up the sport, Armada undertook an extensive R&D effort consulting their whole team of athletes, numerous engineers, a network of coaches and trusted skiers in the community, tested scores of prototypes and pushed the limits of ski construction in freestyle collections like never before.
Utilizing a completely new 3D molded, injected sidewall dubbed 3Dgewall, the new ARV and ARW Series are built to stand up to the toughest abuse skiers can dish out, while weighing less and delivering higher performance. Three all-new park-shredding, all-mountain capable skis in the lineup join a trio of trusted skis for crushing any conditions. Featuring alternative artwork throughout the line by David Alabo and Keeley Sheppard, there’s more flavors to ARV and ARW than ever before. The funnest family in skiing is back.
New Armada W3DGEWALL
The w3Dgewall is a radical reimagining of ski design. Our engineers went to work on a unique concept to create the most durable, highest performance construction we’ve ever built. 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. With more material in critical areas for added durability and a three-dimensional taper in the tip and tail, the w3Dgewall creates a ski that will stand up to more abuse while providing enhanced edge grip at reduced weights.
ARV 94:Â The reference for Freestyle skier versatilityÂ
Meet the jack-of-all-trades, master of fun. With a slightly softer flex than previous ARVs, the 94 is balanced to excel when buttering and pressing with plenty of stability and pop to confi dently send it on the pro line. The ultralight Caruba Core keeps weights low and is combined with an Ash binding insert and unique w3Dgewall construction to maximize durability and create a better performing, longer lasting ski. The AR Freestyle Rocker in the tips and tails virtually eliminates hang ups on rutted out lips and landings while adding a touch of all-conditions versatility for exploring the rest of the mountain. The ARV 94 is the multi-tool of freestyle skis, ready for anything and built to last.

ARV 88Â : Peak Performance Twin Park Ski
Boost mode engaged. The narrowest and stiffest ski in the ARV Series, the ARV 88 has a Poplar Core paired with w3Dgewall construction to provide maximum edge hold and pop in the gnarliest conditions from rutted-out inruns to icy pipe walls. Featuring more camber and a shorter turn radius underfoot, the ARV 88 has a more traditional turn shape and feel compared to other ARVs, while an elongated turn radius in the tip and tail eliminates any hooky behavior on takeoffs and landings. Competition proven park performance and Armada’s most durable construction to date mean the ARV88 is prepared to take a beating and is ready to send.

ARW 88: Peak Performance Twin Park Womens Ski
Not even the sky is the limit with the ARW 88. With a poplar core, substantial camber underfoot and a snappy flex, the ARW 88 is ready to fly with pop to spare. This park destroying weapon features ash binding inserts and Armada’s revolutionary w3Dgewall construction, meaning it will stand up to whatever punishment skiers deliver. A shorter turn radius in the center of the ski elongates towards the tip and tail to deliver tenacious edge hold and tight carves in a package that’s always predictable and never hooky. When the biggest airs and biggest tricks are on tap, it’s got to be the ARW 88. Accept no substitutes.
