Part of Armada’s playful ARV series, the Armada ARV 106 2020 had our testers hootin’ and hollerin’ from top to bottom, through powder, bumps and even crud. Made to work hard and play harder, the ARV 106 boasts a reinforced sidewall construction to absorb chatter at high speeds and any rails, walls or concrete you may come in contact with on your average ski day. A poplar wood core with ash wood stringers along the length of the ski boosts this plank’s playfulness and gives you a little extra pop when you want it. From riding the white wave to sparking up an urban feature, the ARV 106 is a key all-mountain contender.

FREESKIER tester thoughts:

“Playful skis that pop hard, butter and hold an edge.”

“Surfin’ through the moguls like no-otha. Über responsive!”
