The Armada ARV 94 is a do-it-all park ski in terms of being a playful and creative butter machine yet also sturdy enough to go huge on the pro line. Built to last, these skis are tough and absolutely eat up big hits and impacts. A freestyle through and through, it is a jack of all trades when expressing yourself.

Why we like it:

It can be hard to find a freestyle ski that is competent both in the park as well as the rest of the mountain, but with the ARV 94, that is not the case. It’s sturdy build and twin tip shape make it an all-mountain weapon as well, especially on fresh corduroy and in the trees. Its durability is also something we like as you don’t need to worry about if your equipment will hold up on the next send.

Who it's for:

For the most part, skiers interested in the Armada ARV 94 will have a skillset under their feet as this ski appeals to a more accomplished skier. The best part is that you’re not tied to that level—rather the ARV 94 is a very approachable and fun-loving ski, so if you’re a progressing intermediate looking for a first foray into the twin tip world, the ARV 94 will be a great introduction.

Highlights:

The ARV 94’s new poplar wood core gives it a lot of sturdiness and energy which is perfect for a freestyle twin tip. The ash binding inserts assist with ensuring that your bindings don’t go anywhere on big landings or crashes which is important to keep you progressing and skiing all season long. W3dgewall sidewalls contribute a lot to these ski’s durability for rain tricks and all-mountain sturdiness.

Things to consider:

This is a freestyle ski so if you are a more directional skier who likes the idea of a twin tip, there are other options that would likely suit you better.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to size.
