Armada Skis ARW 84 Skis

Sun & Snow Take: Armada ARW 84 Skis. Forgiving and playful, with camber underfoot for edge hold and rocker in the tip and tail for easier pivots and switch skiing.

Construction: An 84 mm waist, hybrid poplar/composite core and AR Freestyle Rocker. AR50 sidewalls, 2.5 Impact Edges and an S7 sintered base add durability for park and all-mountain use.

Best for: Beginner through intermediate skiers learning park skills, side hits and all-mountain freestyle.

Look elsewhere if: Hard-charging skiers who want a damp metal-laminate ski.
