About this product

The Armada ARV 116 JJ UL is a 175 cm freeride ski built around a 116 mm waist, designed to balance ultralight touring performance with the power needed for demanding descents. At its heart is Armada's Caruba core, described as the brand's lightest wood species, paired with a directional fiberglass Laminate Matrix that shapes the flex pattern and torsional rigidity for a lively, forgiving response. Flex ratings measure 3 at the tip, 5 at the waist, and 4 at the tail, reflecting a soft-to-medium profile suited to variable backcountry snow. AR75 sidewalls cover 75 percent of the ski's length for reliable edge pressure underfoot, while cap construction in the tip and tail smooths turn initiation and reduces hookiness. Freestyle Rocker combines rockered tips and tails with positive camber underfoot for confident charging through unpredictable conditions. Smear Tech, a 3D beveled base geometry in the tip and tail, reduces the chance of catching in crud and aids self-centering in deep snow. Lightweight 1.7 heat-treated edges and an S7 base with a speed additive round out the build. A two-year warranty is included.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the Armada ARV 116 JJ UL as one of the most playful and intuitive powder skis available, highlighting its exceptional float, surfy feel, and effortless maneuverability in deep snow. The ultralight Caruba wood core earns frequent praise for making the ski nimble enough for backcountry touring without sacrificing too much power underfoot. The Smear Tech beveled tip and tail is widely appreciated for enabling easy butters, pivots, and catch-free slashes. The most common criticism is that the lightweight build comes at a cost in variable or firm conditions, with reviewers noting reduced stability, damping, and edge hold on hard pack or crud. It is consistently described as a dedicated powder and soft-snow specialist, not a versatile all-mountain charger, and skiers seeking a damp, hard-charging ski are advised to look elsewhere.
