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!

Amazing experience with Simon!
5 /5
Simon was incredibly knowledgable and patient, helping me find the perfect skis and bindings that fit my needs and budget. He went above and beyond to make sure I got the best deal, which allowed me to get my new dream "true blue" skis that I can always turn to for most days on the mountain. I can't wait to hit the slopes with confidence, knowing I have reliable gear thanks to Simon's expert guidance. Highly recommend working with him!

5 /5
I really like how Curated approaches their sales process. With so many option the nuances between boards and sizes can make deciding on a board difficult. I loved that I could talk to Jared and bounce ideas off a real person who had a deep knowledge base. I looked at a ton of reviews and talked with shops, but I gained the most insight into my decision by chatting with Jared. He wasn't pushy and genuinely seemed stoked!

I had a great experience with Nate helping me find a new snowboard! I’ve been looking to elevate my rides and he gave me so much information but in such an organized fashion that I did not feel overwhelmed. He knows what he’s talking about and had first hand experience on the slopes ! I’m super satisfied with Nate’s help! I ended up buying a new board same day. So stoked for the new season.

Bobby made an overwhelming search, for the right gear for my son, a breeze. I don't know much about snowboarding, so having Bobby's informative guidance helped me determine what would be best for my kiddo! I'm excited to watch him unwrap this gift, and start the season off right! Thank you Bobby!

Tristan was very helpful in pointing me in the right direction. He's got me looking good and feeling good next time i'm on the slopes.
5 /5
I kind of had an idea about what i was looking for, but Tristan helped me really get dialed in with the perfect gear. He helped me with sizing the board because i was torn between getting a wide board or not. He did a great job at explaining what he liked about certain products, so it was very helpful when picking out my stuff. The prices that i have seen for some of this gear on this website is incredible. Tristan really knows his stuff and i couldn't recommend him more.

Came here pretty clueless and wanted to find some gear for cheap, but as we know, gear is not cheap. So Spencer gave me some recommendations on some used stuff I was looking at elsewhere and helped me and my girlfriend dial in our setups for the season! It was super helpful having someone knowledgeable discuss options and specifics with each piece of gear. Very happy customer :)

I was honestly just trying to figure out what the best size board would be for me and he took me step by step through the process. I would not have bought anything if he wasn't so much help. It was an easy process and he made me feel confident in what I was buying. If its your just looking for your first board or looking to replace one Bobby would give you great suggestions that you can select from.
