Product description
Built for park laps and all-mountain creativity
The ARV 88 is designed for riders who want a responsive ski with a strong freestyle focus. Its narrower waist, Freestyle Rocker profile and lively flex deliver quick edge-to-edge performance, solid grip and plenty of pop for park sessions, side hits and creative riding across the mountain.
Snappy, precise and durable
The Poplar Core provides a lively and energetic feel, making spins, butters and carves feel natural and controlled. Durable Impact Edges are built for demanding use, while Armada’s W3DGEWALL construction reduces weight and enhances durability. The result is a playful yet dependable twin-tip ski that feels at home in the park and beyond.
Armada x Madsteez
Celebrating 20 years of the iconic ARV franchise, Armada linked up with radical artist and long-time collaborator MADSTEEZ to push the boundaries of freestyle culture with an insane, larger-than-life artwork. Created right in the snow during AR Team Week at Absolut Park with help from the Armada crew, the monumental, acid-colored mural was painted directly across a series of topsheets, before being broken down into individual pairs that are each hand-numbered and signed by MADSTEEZ—giving you the chance to ride or collect a truly unique, one-of-a-kind piece of freeski history.

Subject to alterations according to the manufacturer. Image is non-binding.
Freeskis are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new skis should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.
