Armada ARV 116 JJ UL Skis 2026

Product Details

Rocker Type

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

Flex (1=Soft, 10=Stiff)– Tip = 3, Waist = 5, Tail = 4

Core

Caruba Core– Armada´s lightest wood species creates the best uphill feel while retaining the power and dampness required for descending in the gnarliest of terrain. This core makes no concessions in its quest for ultralight performance.

Laminates

Laminate Matrix– A directional layering of fiberglass dictates the flex pattern and torsional rigidity of the ski to create the ultimate lively and forgiving feel with quick response.

Sidewalls

AR75 Sidewall– Sidewalls provide improved edge pressure under the boot, while cap constuction in the tip and tail provides smooth turn initiation and less hookiness - 75% sidewall, 25% cap.

Base

S7 Base– Durable and low maintenance, with a speed additive for quickness.

Edges

1.7 Lightweight Edge– Light and strong, these heat-treated edges effect the feel of the ski minimally to ensure a snappy, lightweight feel.

Additional Features

Smear Tech– A 3D beveled base in the tip and tail creates a unique feel in all snow conditions. Less likely to catch in crud, self-centering in deep snow, and uncatchable on takeoffs, Smear Tech lets you float effortlessly whether sliding forwards, backwards, left, or right.

Binding Compatibility

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Specs

• Terrain: Powder, Alpine Touring More

  Terrain

  
  
  PowderThese skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow. Alpine TouringAlso known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.
  
  
  
• Skis: No Bindings
• Ability Level: Advanced-Expert More

  Ability Level

  
  
  Advanced-ExpertWhether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you´ll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.
  
  
  
• Rocker Type: Rocker/Camber/Rocker More

  Rocker Type

  
  
  Rocker/Camber/RockerRocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.
  
  
  
• Turning Radius: Medium More

  Turning Radius

  
  
  Medium17-22 m radius is best for all-mountain and park & pipe.
  
  
  
• Core/Laminates: Wood
• Tail Type: Full Twin Tip More

  Tail Type

  
  
  Full Twin TipDesinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
