Armada's ARV 86 is the ultimate frontside freestyle tool for strong skiers looking for a reliably playful ski to take into the park, trees, and everything in between. It has a twin tip rocker profile and light tips and tails to make skiing switch and buttering effortless, while the camber underfoot gives the ARV 86 surprising stability when carving at higher speeds.
Key Features:
- AR Freestyle Rocker Profile – The ARV 86 has a twin tip rocker profile for confidently skiing switch and hitting features in the park. This is combined with a full camber section underfoot to allow the skis to charge and carve when needed.
- Poplar and Ash Core – Armada uses lightweight Poplar wood as the main material for the core, with denser Ash wood stringers run down the length to add strength and power for landings and aggressive skiing.
- AR75 Sidewalls and 2.5 Impact Edges – The ARV has full sidewalls running down the entire camber section of the skis and not in the tips and tails to save weight and make the skis butter and turn on a dime.

Sarah’s the best
5 /5
Sarah knows her boards and made picking one quick and easy. I was looking for an upgrade from my 15 year old board and Sarah took the time to get to know everything I needed from a new board and selected fantastic options. She helped narrow it down even more and ultimately helped me pick the perfect board for me.

5 /5
I'd been skiing on some ancient secondhand skis that finally bit it last season, and Ethan was a great help in getting me outfitted with new gear for this year! He gave good consideration to my skill level and input, and the reasoning behind his recommendations were easy to understand and much appreciated.

5 /5
I've ordered from curated before and had a phenomenal experience. I've been looking to upgrade my gear to increase my skills and David helped find the perfect match of what i'm looking for. He answered any and all questions with not just information about the ski's themselves, but personal opinion which I really appreciated. Looking forward to riding this setup this upcoming season.

Working with Kat was great! She made the decision process super easy. She made videos of her recommendations and explained the reason behind each recommendation. It was clear that she has the experience to back up her recommendations, and this made me feel comfortable knowing that I was getting the right equipment. we were able to select a new snowboard, bindings and boots that my wife will be getting for Christmas… Thank you, Kat!

Leo was fantastic!
5 /5
Leo curated the appropriate gear for my needs. He provided 2-4 options of skis, boots, bindings, and poles, which allowed me to choose. He was knowledgeable in comparisons and answering my many questions. He made purchasing gear easy, no pressure, and stress free, which buying the right gear for the right price usually is overwhelming for me. Curated was affordable and better priced then other online competitors, I like the return policy, and Leo's willingness to work with me throughout the process to ensure the best set up of gear. I would definitely recommend Leo and curated! I can't wait for some pow to test out the gear.

Kat was so much fun to talk to, and offered amazing advice. She even gave a video explaining everything she selected and why. Answered my questions, and even watched the items I wanted until I could decide I really wanted them! This was a great experience and I will definitely come back to Kat if I need help in the future.
