βThe 2025 Armada ARW 106 is a versatile all-mountain twin-tip ski designed for advanced to expert skiers who enjoy a blend of freestyle and freeride skiing. With a 106mm waist, it offers a balanced performance across various snow conditions, from groomed runs to powder stashes.β
This year's model features a 100% poplar wood core, providing a lively and responsive feel. The AR Freestyle Rocker profile, combining rockered tips and tails with positive camber underfoot, allows for smooth turn initiation and stability in diverse conditions. The inclusion of Armada's w3Dgewall construction enhances edge grip and durability while reducing weight. Additionally, the ski is equipped with 2.5 Impact Edges and an S7 base for increased durability and speed. β
On groomed terrain, the ARW 106 delivers reliable edge hold and responsive carving, making it suitable for skiers who enjoy high-speed runs. In softer snow and mixed conditions, the ski's rocker profile and medium flex enable it to float effortlessly and navigate through variable terrain with ease. Its twin-tip design facilitates switch skiing and freestyle maneuvers, while the 106mm waist provides sufficient float for venturing into deeper snow. β
Compared to its predecessor, the 2025 ARW 106 has a slightly softer tip, offering more progression through the front half of the ski. This adjustment provides better suspension when navigating choppy snow and makes turn initiation more intuitive. The tail remains slightly stiffer to support longer turns and landings. The updated construction, including the w3Dgewall, enhances torsional rigidity and durability.
