Curated's Verified Product ReviewersCurated's Verified Product ReviewersWho would love these
Freestyle skiers who thrive in the terrain park will love the Armada ARV 88 Skis. They're perfect for those who enjoy hitting rails, spinning in the air, and lapping the pipe. If you prioritize park performance and want a ski that can handle the toughest conditions, these are for you. However, if you're looking for a ski for deep powder days, you might want to consider other options.
Why I recommend these
Symmetrical twin-tip design
Lightweight and maneuverable
Great edge hold and pop
Expert verdict
The Armada ARV 88 Skis are a dream for freestyle enthusiasts who love the park. With a poplar core and w3Dgewall construction, these skis offer incredible edge hold and pop, making them perfect for tackling icy pipes and rutted inruns. The narrow 88mm waist and symmetrical twin-tip design make spins and rotations a breeze, while the elongated turn radius in the tips and tails ensures smooth takeoffs and landings. While they excel in the park, they might not be the best choice for deep powder days. If you're looking to dominate the terrain park with style and precision, the ARV 88 is your go-to ski.

Boost mode engaged. The narrowest and stiffest ski in the ARV Series, the ARV 88 has a Poplar Core paired with w3Dgewall construction to provide maximum edge hold and pop in the gnarliest conditions from rutted-out inruns to icy pipe walls. Featuring more camber and a shorter turn radius underfoot, the ARV 88 has a more traditional turn shape and feel compared to other ARVs, while an elongated turn radius in the tip and tail eliminates any hooky behavior on takeoffs and landings. Competition proven park performance and Armada’s most durable construction to date mean the ARV 88 is prepared to take a beating and is ready to send.

Jake Renner tested this product
The ARV 88 is a true park ski, full tip and tail rocker aids with landing and hitting features while switch. The narrower waist at 88mm offers a ski that is easy to get your rotations around with and really at home while sliding rails. Good amount of pop while jumping and relatively light swing weight keeps this ski ripping.... Read more
Ideal for
- Loads of camber underfoot provides a bit more pop when jumping and edge hold when carving
- At 88mm underfoot and full tip and tail rocker equates to a ski that can spin easily while in the air
- ARV 88 is a peak park performance ski, catered to freestyle skiing- terrain park, jumps, rails, halfpipe
Not ideal for
- Not as quick of an edge to edge transition or turn radius as other skis this narrow

Erik was great!
5 /5
Erik was very helpful in assisting me to pick out my first pair of skis and ski bindings! I am an intermediate-level skier but have always used rental skis, so when looking to buy my own, I didn't have much of a knowledge-base. Erik was very helpful in answering my questions and with narrowing down which skis would be a good fit for me, taking into consideration my height/weight, skill level, skiing strengths and weaknesses, and price range. Thank you very much, Erik!

This was my first time buying snow sport gear of any kind. Tyler used the information I gave him to give me some really great choices and get me all set up with a board, bindings, and a helmet. He was very responsive to my questions and had recommendations for sizes and settings that I would not have been able to figure out on my own. He was great!

Brandon Nailed My Snowboard Setup!
5 /5
Brandon was awesome! He helped me choose the perfect snowboard gear, a Burton Cartographer with boots and bindings. He made sure everything fit perfectly and even scored me a great deal. Super pumped with my setup, the setup worked perfect for Midwest and East coast riding! Thanks, Brandon!

Tyler was super helpful!
5 /5
Tyler made great recommendations and really took the time to understand where my skill level is at and where I intend to ski. Ultimately, I was uncomfortable making the investment without trying the skis first, so I ended up buying a pair that I had rented several times and really liked. I had so many questions and came very close to purchasing skis a few months ago but now I that I have nearly finished this season I have a better idea of what I was looking for!

Nico helped me decide what length Atomic Mavens to get and bindings. He helped me decide that these skis will work on East Coast ice and Jackson Hole powder. I wish Curated was sticking around because it's such a great service. My cousin bought skis bindings and boots last year with curated and is stoked.

Great help.
5 /5
Tyler helped to reassure me on the board I have been eying, while also suggesting the best options for boots and bindings; he never tried to push the most expensive option, but rather gave me a number of choices to consider for myself (and in fact, recommended a cheaper boot option than the one I went with!). He was a great help and I feel confident that he helped me make a solid purchase.

Additional Board
5 /5
I was looking at updating my board and was just looking around. After a quick chat with John to narrow down which board to pick, he made it easier than going into a store. He helped out with an additional discount that no other website could beat. Too hard to pass up a great deal, I bought the board and bindings. Cheers to debuting it before the season ends!

She knew exactly what I was looking for...
5 /5
I already knew what skis I was trying to find, based on the conditions I wanted to ski and also based on my skill level. Not only did she recommend the exact skis that I had been looking for, but she also recommended a better set of bindings than the ones I had previously thought were a good fit. I love that she's a neighbor over in VT while I'm in NH, so she knows East Coast (Ice Coast) skiing like I do. I'm so excited for the deal I just landed on brand new 2025 skis, and I have Shannon to thank for helping me narrow down the perfect fit. I'm just so sad to hear this amazing company is closing its doors, but while the deals are good and before they go, I will be recommending them to everyone I know! Thanks again, Shannon! Happy skiing!

Noah helped me tremendously. I kind of knew what I wanted but by asking the right questions, he helped point me in the best direction for my changing skill level and age and kind of terrain I'd be skiing more since moving to a different state. He took everything into account. He gave me choices for each item I wanted---skis, bindings, poles---and put together a perfect curation! I'm super stoked to be able to take advantage of the discounts of course, but I never would've been able to do that or even find such great equipment without Noah's help!
