Armada ARV 100 Black Edition Skis — One-Ski Quiver Energy

If you’re trimming the quiver to one, make it the ARV 100 Black Edition. This twin-tipped daily driver has the pop and playfulness to session side-hits and park laps, plus the edge hold and stability to rip groomers and explore off-trail. A confidence-building Poplar core, durable w3Dgewall construction, and oversized edges mean it’s built to keep smiling long after the first 100 days.

Why you’ll love it

• All-mountain freestyle made easy — AR Freestyle Rocker (rockered tip & tail with positive camber underfoot) feels loose and surfy in variable snow yet locks a clean carve when you ask for it.

• Balanced flex you can trust — Consistent 6/6/6 (tip/mid/tail) flex = intuitive turn initiation, solid mid-ski support, and composed landings.

• Built to last — w3Dgewall injected sidewalls create a strong mechanical bond to the core for enhanced edge grip and durability at a lighter weight.

• Powerfully predictable — The 100% Poplar core delivers smooth rebound across conditions, while Ash binding inserts boost binding retention for the long haul.

• Resort-proof speed & strength — S7 base for quick glide and 2.5 Impact Edges for park-grade toughness.

Best for

Intermediate to advanced skiers who want a playful twin that truly does it all—park, bumps, trees, and fast laps on the frontside—without babying their gear.
