The iconic Armada ARV 116 JJ continues to carve its name into ski lore, coming correct with a Poplar-Ash wood core for maximum energy return and pop when sending it down pillow lines and ripping tree shots. The JJ’s balanced flex profile is ideal for surfing powder while maintaining enough stiffness through the tip and tail to excel in tight conditions and no-fall zones. Smear Tech 3D base beveling in the tips and tails allow limitless directions of slashes, presses and butters as you put your signature on the mountain.

The Original Powder King!
Originally posted at www.armadaskis.com on Mar 29, 2023When you are thinking about a new powder ski there is no need to look anywhere else. The ARV 116 was designed to float like a butterfly and sting like a... well you get my point! The 116 has enough edge grip and maneuverability to get you to your next powder lap while remaining strong enough to bash some crud up after it gets choppy. When you finally get off in the trees or that next open bowl is when this ski really comes alive, the big slashy turns and surf like feeling will have you seeking pow endlessly. I cannot remember a time when I haven't had face shots and a grin ear to ear on these skis.

VICTOR VON CLAUS
5 /5
There’s some type of feeling that you get when you feel taken care of when buying something whether that be in store or online. Victor continuously does just that! I came back and he never let me down. Response time is great, knowledgeable, friendly, and an all around great guy. He was able to narrow down so many options based on my experience level and abilities along with what I’m searching for in the product. Come to find out he demo’d the product I got and he mentioned to me that he enjoys the product arguably more than what he’s riding. I will be returning when I’m in need of something else and I will be rekindling my friendship with Victor!

5 /5
The robots failed me in my initial chat experience so Ryan stepped in. At first I was very nervous about this entire process but he listened to everything I said and tailored my build to suit my needs. He was kind and attentive in answering all of my questions, and even recommended some other gear that I've been searching for. I knew buying my own equipment for the first time ever was going to be expensive but I believe I am getting my money's worth for the value of the kit he put together. Thank you, Ryan, for giving me a chance and being patient with me. I hope your boss reads this and buys you lunch. You deserve it.

Jared was wonderful!
5 /5
I couldn’t be more impressed! From the moment we started, Jared’s extensive knowledge and genuine passion for snowboarding shone through. He took the time to understand my needs and recommendations that perfectly suited me.
Jared’s expertise is remarkable but beyond his knowledge, Jared was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure I had the best experience.

Alec was great. He was able to help so much. I have been looking to buy skis for 3 years now and didn't have an idea on where to start on this site. I knew that there was some cost to invest in a good pair of skis... but WOW thanks to Alec I was able to find some great deals for skis and also could get a nicer fitting jacket this season. That fit into my budget. Thank you!

I felt like I made an online friend with Jonny 👏
5 /5
I was Googling what size snowboard to buy for my son, and continued on by opening Curated’s website. Jonny popped up in the chat to ask how he could help. He asked a lot questions beyond my sons’s weight and height to “curate” his top picks of equipment. How long he has been boarding, his ability level, his age, what type of boarder he is, and where on the mountains he spends his time. He addressed my concern that my son is still not finished growing and that I need equipment to grow with him. He selected a board that not only would allow my son to enhance his skills with the responsiveness of the board, but allow him 3-4 seasons on it as he grows. The questions and answers back and forth were numerous and sometimes even extremely funny from both of us! I know Jonny has a job to do and he’s selling me a product, but the interaction was enjoyable, fun and informative. If all the folks at Curated are as enjoyable to work with as Jonny, kudos to this company. Shipping time is extremely fast. I have the boots and bindings and the board is out for delivery as I write this. All equipment will arrive in under a weeks time. Thank you Jonny, and Happy snow Trails to you.

Upgrading after 26 years
5 /5
Mike was very helpful when trying to select a board and binding combo for me. A lot has changed in 26 years. With all the tech and terminology, my head was spinning. Mike explained every detail and took all my info to come up with a ultimate combo to match my ability and riding style. Awesome shopping experience. Thanks Mike.
