Ask Curated a question about this product:

The Armada ARW 96 Women's 2023 Skis are made for the intermediate skier who wants to start to take flight in the park and on natural features. This ski opens up a world anew a place where everything becomes a jump or a rail. The Armada ARW 96 Women's 2023 will also have solid ski-ability in the groomed snow as it has camber underfoot.

Key Features:

  • Twin Tip Rocker – The tips of the skis curve up on both tip and tail; making it easy to ski and land backward. This also makes it easier to spin the skis.
  • Poplar Ash Core – Lightweight poplar core combined with compact ash wood creates a very responsive and playful ski.
  • Sintered Base – Is more durable and holds wax very well for a longer time, allowing for faster speeds.
  • 2.5 Impact Edge – This is quite large and treated with heat, making this edge very durable. It will withstand impacts easily.
  • Freestyle Stiffness – (1=soft,10=stiff) Tail:7, Mid:6, Tip:8. This flex pattern is great for popping off jumps and flexing the tips and tails for those "steezy" butters.

Fell apart after skiing them for 5 days

Originally posted at www.armadaskis.com on Jan 9, 2023
I bought the 2022 version of these skis back in December 2021. I was so excited to ski on them but they ended up not arriving until late so I did not get to begin skiing on them until December 2022. After the first day skiing on them the top sheet began to delaminate and peel off. I didn't think too much of it but after skiing on them a few more times both skis were showing signs of very poor quality. I reached out to Armada and Evo (the dealer who I bought them from) to see about a replacement or damage fixes but they ended up rejecting the warranty claim. The skis are now barely skiable as water is getting into the ski. I am very unhappy as I have always been very fond of Armada but this clearly displays a major quality issue, and was then very disappointed when Armada said that they warranty wouldn't go.

I got my my new skis 2 days before heading to Revelstoke, BC. The skis are light weight making my carving feel effortless. I could ski variable conditions easily. And they performed fantastic in fresh "cold smoke". Definitely a go to for all mountain ski.

I was looking to purchase a new setup (snowboard, boots, bindings, and googles) for the upcoming season. Everything I have is very worn out. The last time I purchased a new setup was ten years ago, and I did not know where to start. So, I went through the "find your snowboard" quiz and was matched with Mike. From there we were able to really dial in my setup. I can't wait to try it out! Thank you Mike!

I'm getting back into snowboarding after a lonnngg hiatus and Leif knew exactly what I needed for both my skill level and the exact mountain I will be spending time at this winter. I had a pretty small budget considering the cost of gear and he found me a board and bindings way under budget. I was thrilled. I was also delighted that I got a personalized video describing my options. Highly recommended!

Ryan was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I can in knowing nothing about snowboards and I gave him a weird task of trying to find a board that would work for both me and my brother at different weights. I appreciate how happy he was to help and how he kept checking in on me wanting to help.

Jay is Awesome!
5 /5
Jay is very knowledgeable when it comes to snowboards. If you really want to dive into the differences between the materials, and engineering behind snowboards Jay is the guy to get into these conversations with. I’ve been riding for 25 plus years, and at this point in my life, I really appreciate Jay being there to just talk about the different nuances of snowboarding. I feel he was really able to understand the type of riding I like to do, and where i want to take my riding, and made excellent gear recommendations.

Josh helped me buy my second real snowboard. I was upgrading from a board I purchased on craigslist and rode for several seasons, and Josh was very patient and helpful talking through riding styles and making recommendations. After we narrowed it down to a few options, he even made a video talking through pros/cons of each of the boards - all around an incredibly helpful dude!

I was looking for a new snowboard. I knew I wanted to get something that excelled in powder but I wasn't sure which board to get. Taylor helped me narrow my selection down to a few options and I ultimately went with his top recommendation. It's really helpful to get a second opinion. Thanks for the help, Taylor!
