When Armada started they introduced two models- one for park and one for the steep and deep. The Armada ARV was originally the ski for the all-mountain arena and is left standing as the only model still in the line since its inception- of course with a variety of improvements. If you ski all over the mountain but ride the park on occasion, then this is the ski for you. For 2007/2008 Armada shaved weight and added more vertical stiffness with the re-designed AR Core 2 and heat-treated 2.5 Impact Edge. A generous sidecut and stiffer flex profile keeps the ARV stable at high speeds, while remaining nimble.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://ll.broadbandsports.com/images/21126_thumb.jpg" alt="Armada ARV Twin Tips Ski Review" title="Armada ARV Twin Tips Ski Review" width="150" height="90" alt="Armada ARV Twin Tips Ski Review"/>
