The ARV 88 is Armada's snappy, do-it-all all-mountain twin — built for skiers who want to carve hard, send it deep, and hit the park all in the same run. A poplar chassis keeps things lightweight and lively, while just enough tip and tail rocker adds versatility for changing snow.
Shape & Feel
An all-mountain twin shape rides switch as naturally as it does forward, with a subtle rocker at the tip and tail that adds float and forgiveness when conditions get variable — without giving up the pop and edge hold that make it a fun carver on hardpack.
Construction
The 100% Poplar Core delivers stability, power, and pop without adding excess weight — a lively, predictable ride under foot. Ash binding inserts add superior screw retention where it counts, and the w3Dgewall (Armada's 3D-molded injected sidewall) angles into the wood core for a stronger mechanical bond, balancing performance with reduced weight in the tip and tail.
Edges & Base
2.5 Impact Edges are oversized and specially heat-treated for real durability against rocks, rails, and hard landings. The S7 sintered base is optimized for speed, wax retention, and long-term durability.
