ARV 88 Ski - 2027

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve taken the ARV 88 all over—park laps, side hits, spring slush, even some firm groomers—and it just keeps delivering. It's super playful without feeling unstable at speed, and the poplar core plus w3Dgewall construction makes it feel durable enough to take a beating in the park."

Who It’s For

Intermediate to Advanced Park and Freestyle Skiers:

The ARV 88 is perfect for skiers who prioritize park laps, switch riding, and trick progression but still want a ski that can hold an edge outside the park. Great for those who like mixing rails, jumps, and butter tricks with all-mountain exploration.

What It’s For

Park Progression and Creative All-Mountain Play:

With an 88mm waist and AR Freestyle Rocker, the ARV 88 thrives on rails, boxes, and booters, while still carving groomers and spring slush. It’s tuned for playful riders who want to turn every lap into a mix of tricks, butters, and fast carves.

Why We Like It

Pop, Durability, and Versatility Together:

We like the ARV 88 because it takes Armada’s freestyle DNA and makes it work across the whole mountain. The poplar core feels lively and balanced, the w3Dgewall sidewalls add toughness and edge control, and the 2.5 Impact Edges resist rail damage. It’s durable, versatile, and fun—everything we want in a park-to-all-mountain ski.
