2026 Armada ARW 84 Skis

The 2026 Armada ARW 84 is a freestyle-inspired all-mountain twin designed specifically for emerging female skiers. With a light, forgiving feel and a shape that’s tuned for switch riding and park play, it’s an ideal platform for building skills and exploring every inch of the mountain.

Why we like it:

It’s a true twin with Armada’s signature feel. It’s playful, durable, and easy to grow with.

Who it's for:

Beginner to intermediate women and teen skiers looking to branch out from the groomers into more creative terrain. Whether you’re learning to ski switch, try rails, or just want something light and confidence-boosting, the ARW 84 is a reliable place to start.

Highlights:

Featuring a hybrid poplar/composite core, the ARW 84 keeps things light without compromising on strength. AR50 sidewalls and 2.5 Impact Edges offer added durability for park laps and rail hits, while the S7 base keeps the glide smooth and maintenance simple. With a centered stance and true twin-tip shape, it’s built to ride equally well forward and switch. The flex hits the sweet spot; it’s soft enough to stay fun and easy to handle, with just enough backbone to hold up at speed or on firmer snow.

Things to consider:

This ski is tuned for progression and play, not power. Stronger or more advanced riders may want to size up or step into the ARW 94 or 100 for added width and stability.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These skis run true to size. Shorter lengths are best for those prioritizing maneuverability and control, while longer sizes offer more stability for confident skiers stepping it up.
