ARV 116 JJ

The JJ is a ski with deep roots in ski history, and the Armada ARV 116 JJ Skis is the latest iteration in a long line of genre defining playful powder skis. They’re like that one great friend from college: super fun and down to party, but when stuff gets serious, you can really rely on them. They have an al dente flex that’s just right, coupled with a playful shape with tons of rocker in the tip and tail for surfing and slashing, plenty of camber under foot for boosting and railing, and Smear Tech 3D beveling so you can get that much looser when the situation calls for it.

• Flex (1=Soft, 10=Stiff) u2013 Tip: 9 | Mid: 7 | Tail: 10
• AR Freestyle Rocker u2013 Rockered tips and tails are combined with positive camber underfoot to allow the ski to charge with ease through unpredictable snow and maintain a solid carve when asked to do so. Turn the whole mountain into your playground
• Poplar Ash Core u2013 Lightweight poplar is combined with higher density full-length ask stringers to create an impossibly lively ski that has all the power needed for boosting to new elevations
• AR75 Sidewall u2013 Sidewalls provide improved edge pressure under the boot, while cap constuction in the tip and tail provides smooth turn initiation and less hookiness – 75% sidewall, 25% cap
• S7 Base u2013 Durable and low maintenance, with a speed additive for quickness
• 2.5 Impact Edge u2013 Oversized and specially heat-treated, this edge is built to resist impact damage in the most demanding situations
• Smear Tech u2013 A 3D beveled base in the tip and tail creates a unique feel in all snow conditions. Less likely to catch in crud, self-centering in deep snow, and uncatchable on takeoffs, Smear Tech lets you float effortlessly whether sliding forwards, backwards, left, or right
