Armada ARG Skis

The Armada ARG . . . leading the reverse camber, reverse-sidecut powder revolution. Time for the deep and steep.
As the big mountain powder charger of choice for the Armada team, the ARG tears down the doors of perception on what's possible. With Elf Shoe Tech, the ski gives you sidecut and camber where you need it and maximum rockered flotation where you don't. The AR 50 Sidewall combines the strength and durability of cap construction with the power transfer and feel of ABS sidewall construction.
This combination of innovation results in a ski that will improve your performance in deep snow on the very first run, while providing maneuverability on firmer snow. When Armada introduced the ARG two years ago, nothing about it made sense to the industry. Today, the industry is struggling to catch up.
Materials:
  • Ultra Light Hybrid Core
  • Elf Shoe Tech
  • AR 50 Sidewall
  • 50/50 Base
  • 1.7 Impact edge

The Armada ARG Ski turns recreational users into serial abusers—if you haven’t experienced Nirvana, then the reverse-camber, reverse-sidecut ARG is the next best thing in deep pow. Hello slarvable floaty goodness, goodbye trench-tired-thighs. The ARG’s unsinkable reverse-camber shape owns the light and white like Jonny Depp in Blow, and the easy-turning, speed ditching, smear-able reverse sidecut offers new options—think going faster—in tight trees and tight spots. Armada included a touch of regular sidecut underfoot to help you navigate the hardpack on the way back to the lift line, but as long as you have few inches of pow to play with, these easy-floating bad boys tackle crud, mank, and chop better than you old go-to planks.

Epic powder boards

Rating:*****

These skis are all time. The shape is very unique. They are a little tough on groomers, but if you are looking at these skis you won't be riding them on groomers anyways! They SLAY the powder. These skis will do anything you tell them to. If you want them to float on the top, they will. If you want them to dive deep, they do. When you are turning in powder, it is extremely effortless and surfy feeling. The deepest powder day of my life was spent on these skis, im glad I had them because I was able to float in neck deep pow while most others were stuck in there own tracks.

I like 'em

Rating:*****

These skis are rediculously fun. They have the perfect amount of rocker to keep them afloat in powder. Really low swing weight makes them quick and nimble in the trees and in billygoating situations. Once they're up to speed in soft snow it takes minimal effort to flick them sideways and slash around. I enjoy that they have a stiffer flex too, makes skiing the cut up stuff more managable than some of the other reverse camber skis out there. Just a tad of sidecut underfoot to make the groomers more manageable than a full reverse sidecut
