Snappy, nimble, and built to last, the ARW 88 Ski is an all-mountain everyday driver that skis with real personality
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying
"The ARW 88 is the kind of ski that makes a normal day feel more fun than it has any right to be. It's quick edge to edge, light enough to play around with, and the 2.5 Impact Edge means you're not babying it on hardpack or rocky early-season runs. I'd reach for this on a bluebird groomer day just as fast as a variable storm day. It just wants to ski."
Who It's For
Intermediate to Advanced All-Mountain Skiers
Skiers who want a responsive, maneuverable daily driver that handles the full resort without feeling sluggish or demanding. The ARW 88 suits riders who prioritize quick, energetic skiing on varied terrain and want a ski that holds up to frequent use without sacrificing feel.
What It's For
All-Mountain Terrain
The ARW 88 is built for skiers who want a nimble, versatile ski for everyday resort use. The 88mm waist sits in the sweet spot for groomed runs and light off-piste, and the freestyle rocker profile keeps turns quick and transitions smooth across changing snow conditions.
Why We Like It
Lightweight Build with Durable Bones
The ARW 88 runs a 100% poplar core that keeps the ski lively and responsive without adding unnecessary weight. W3dgewall construction bonds the sidewall directly to the core for a strong, unified feel that translates energy into the snow efficiently. The 2.5 Impact Edge is oversized and heat-treated to resist damage in demanding conditions — a meaningful detail on a ski meant for daily use. Ash binding inserts add retention strength with a more sustainable material. The S7 base keeps things fast and low maintenance.

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.
