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 in runs 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 ARV 88 is prepared to take a beating and is ready to send.

• AR Freestyle Rocker – Rockered tips and tails are combined with positive camber underfoot to allow the ski to charge with ease through unpredictable snow and maintain a solid carve when asked to do so. Turn the whole mountain into your playground
• Flex – Tip: 7/10, Mid: 8/10, Tail: 7/10
  
• Poplar Core – Stability, power, and ease are paramount in this 100% poplar wood core. For those looking for predictability and smoothness, the Poplar core delivers in all snow conditions
  
• Ash Binding Insert
• w3Dgewall – 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
• S7 Base – Durable and low maintenance, with a speed additive for quickness
• 2.5 Impact Edge – Oversized and specially heat-treated, this edge is built to resist impact damage in the most demanding situations. 1.3-degree base edge and 2.5-degree side edge bevel
