ARV 106 balances playful freestyle energy with versatile all-mountain performance
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I keep coming back to the ARV 106 because it hits the sweet spot for everyday freeride. It’s wide enough to float on storm days but still holds an edge on groomers. The poplar core feels smooth and predictable, and the w3Dgewall sidewalls are seriously tough. It’s basically the one ski I can trust to do everything."
Who It’s For
Intermediate to Advanced All-Mountain Freestyle Skiers:
The ARV 106 is built for skiers who want a playful ski that thrives in mixed conditions. Ideal for riders who split their time between carving groomers, exploring powder stashes, and launching side hits, this ski offers versatility without sacrificing freestyle flair.
What It’s For
All-Mountain Versatility with Freestyle Play:
With a 106mm waist and AR Freestyle Rocker, the ARV 106 is designed to float in soft snow, slash through variable conditions, and carve confidently on firm terrain. Its twin-tip shape and balanced flex make it a true quiver-killer for skiers who want one ski to handle it all.
Why We Like It
Durability, Float, and Predictable Fun Together:
We like the ARV 106 because it’s the ski we can count on regardless of the day’s conditions. The poplar core keeps the flex smooth and consistent, the w3Dgewall sidewalls add strength and precision, and the 2.5 Impact Edges withstand heavy use. From playful park-inspired laps to freeride lines, the ARV 106 delivers confidence and fun everywhere.

What Skiing Will Become
Founded in the 2000s, Armada was created by a generation of skiers who wanted to redefine the sport. Two decades later, Armada still builds products that reflect the freedom and fun of modern skiing.
Phantom Glide By DPS Skis
This ski is compatible with Phantom Glide, the long-lasting base treatment from DPS Skis. Backcountry technicians apply and UV-cure it before the skis ship, so they arrive ready to ride with no waxing needed.
How It Works
Applied By Backcountry Techs
Backcountry technicians treat and UV-cure every pair in the shop before it leaves the warehouse, so the skis arrive ready to ride with no setup required.
Glide That Outlasts Wax
Wax sits on top of the base and wears off in a few days. Phantom Glide bonds into the base, so glide stays fast and consistent from cold powder to spring slush.
No More Wax Days
Phantom Glide replaces scraping, ironing, and shop visits with a quick base cleaning using the Phantom Glide Base Care Kit. The formula is made without PFAS.
Mounted And Ready To Go
When skis, bindings, and boots are purchased together, a Gearhead Expert mounts the bindings before the order ships.
