Armada ARV 116 JJ Skis 2019

QUITE POSSIBLY THE BEST POWDER SKI MADE..... EVER.

Test Locations: Snowbird UT, Aspen CO, Cannon NH

The Armada ARV 116 JJ..... Where to begin?  The ski is incredible and you've probably read that countless times in magazines, forums and hard skiers raving about it on chairlifts across the country.  What makes the ARV 116 JJ so amazing is it's a versatile powder ski, most powder skis feel planky and are harder to manage on technical trails - the 116 JJ will have you skiing powder better than you ever have before.  Now that's not to say it's limited to skiers that are trying to figure out how to ski powder better.  It allows experts to take their skiing further and ski more technical lines because the ski is super nimble and light.  The JJ has a turning radius that is tighter than most all-mountain carving skis and its 115mm in the waist!  If you have a heli-trip or snowcat trip planned you need to bring this with you, add it to the cart.  

Construction

AR50 Sidewall - A rock solid vertical sidewall construction that helps with overall stability, as well as providing you the most durable platform for hard shredding.

Laminate Matrix - Fiberglass is layered in multiple different directions helping to dictate the skis flex pattern. It also gives the skis increased torsional strength.

Core

Hybrid Ultra Light Core - An incredibly light wood core that still provides you with the strength, energy and torsional rigidity that you're looking for.

Shape

EST Freeride Rocker - Tip and tail rocker with camber underfoot. The rockered zones in the tip and tail give the JJ unparalleled flotation and maneuverability through the deep stuff. Armada gives the skis some positive camber underfoot for stability and increased control on hard snow.

Additional Awesomeness

Comp Series Base - A super fast base designed for the hardest of charging.

1.7 Impact Edge - A incredibly light edge that doesn't sacrifice durability and strength.

Binding

The Armada ARV 116 JJ Skis do not come with a binding. We recommend you use a binding that will accommodate your skiing needs (backcountry, touring, all-mountain, freestyle etc.). Be sure the brake width and release settings will work for your particular activity. Questions about what's best for you, contact an expert at TheSkiMonster.com.
