Armada ARV 94

Still the East Coast Freestyle King — New Top Sheets, Same Feel

🎥 Filmed With: Paul (nice turns), Kendo, and Hans (CEO of Armada)
This was a fun one. Caught up with Hans from Armada during the Stratton demo to ski and film the new ARV 94s. Also on the hill: Kendo and myself. Good conditions, honest laps, and no hype needed — we’ve skied this model for years.

 🎨 What’s New This Year
Then I met with Owen to take it inside the shop and break her down. Same construction and shape as last year, with two new top sheet options: A raw jet-black base with clean white branding — super stealthy A bold, graphic-heavy option with pops of color — classic Armada flair. No construction changes — just a visual refresh that lets you pick your style. 

⚙️ Performance Breakdown
The ARV 94 is still one of the most playful all-mountain skis on the market — especially for East Coasters who want something light, poppy, and quick in and out of moguls.
Whether we were carving on-trail, hunting side hits, or bouncing through the trees, this ski stayed lively without ever feeling sketchy. Kendo skied it fast and buttery; I leaned more into short turns and low-impact laps.
Hans made it look easy — obviously.

🔍 Tech Recap (Carryover Construction)
Caruba Core for ultralight swing weight
AR Freestyle Rocker in tip and tail for playfulness
2.5 Impact Edges and w3Dgewall sidewall for durability
Ash Stringers underfoot = more snap off rollers and jumps

🎯 Who This Ski’s For
Freestyle-first skiers who still ride all-mountain
East Coast skiers who mix park, glades, and bumps
Skiers who want a light-but-stable platform to throw around
Anyone who grew up on twins and doesn’t want to ski a tank

🗺️ Where We Skied It
Filmed at Stratton. Groomers and side hits all in one lap. The ski is still in its element — light in the air, fun in tight spots, and easy to pivot when things get spicy.
