Expert verdict
The Armada ARV 106 Skis are a dream for those who love a playful yet stable ride. These skis are perfect for all-mountain freestyle enthusiasts who want to tackle everything from powder to park. The Smear Tech’s edgeless base beveling in the tip and tail makes them incredibly smooth in soft snow, while the Poplar-Ash Core ensures they can handle high-speed chatter. They might feel a bit heavy, and the top sheet can be fragile, but the performance they deliver is worth it. If you're an intermediate to advanced skier looking to send it hard, these skis are your ticket to fun.

The ARV 106 has been our most versatile all-mountain freestyle ski since its inception. It brings an ultra-playful yet stable ride to high performance skiers tired of tossing sticks in the trash every half season. The ARV 106 features Smear Tech’s edgeless base beveling in tip and tail, enhancing soft snow performance and adding additional release. It’s reinforced with AR75 Sidewall construction and a Poplar-Ash Core to absorb high speed chatter and any rail, wall or concrete you can press them on. The ARV 106 is as at home surfing the white wave as it is thrashing the pro park.

Cat Leonowicz tested this product
This ski is a full-force all-mountain powerhouse. Not only do you get the playfulness of a freestyle ski in the rockered tips and tails, but you also get the performance of a charging all-mountain carving ski with the stiff cambered underfoot. This ski is perfect for a freestyle rider aiming to hit the park and rip down the groomers. As... Read more
Ideal for
- Great for high speed carving stability
- Freestyle skiing
- Free flowing all mountain charging ski
Not ideal for
- Can be difficult to make tight turns while at speed
- Would recommend the smaller underfoot model for smaller skiiers

Camden Watkins owns this product
I have absolutely loved my Armada ARV 106’s. They have great responsiveness, even for being a pretty wide ski. They are very good at getting on edge and holding on groomers. These skis are some of the most versatile skis I have used. They are great skis for all types of terrain and would make a great one ski quiver... Read more
Ideal for
- This ski is great for any all mountain skier who wants a versatile ski in any conditions
- This ski is great for charging through the crud in less ideal conditions.
- This ski is amazing when it comes to pop and playfulness.
Not ideal for
- This ski feels very heavy.
- The stiffness through the middle of the ski can be something to be aware of.
- The top sheet of the ski tends to chip and scratch on pretty much anything.

One Ski Killer!
Originally posted at www.armadaskis.com on Mar 28, 2023I could not be more impressed with these skis! The ARV 106 has been my daily go to ski for many years now and will continue to be my ski of choice. The 106 can handle anything you throw at it, being slightly stiffer than some of the other ARVs really allows you to feel the confidence in every turn and every landing. I mount these skis at the freestyle line and find that they can still carve and maneuver quite well. Year over year I continue coming back to these amazing skis!

So much fun!
Originally posted at www.armadaskis.com on Mar 23, 2023Like every Armada ski, these are incredibly fun! I think they're the perfect one-ski-quiver for a big western resort. they're a blast in almost any type of terrain or conditions. I have skis that I own for various conditions, but 9 times out of 10 I'm reaching for my ARVs and loving it!

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!

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!
