About this product

After a few years hiatus, the Armada ARW 116 VJJ Skis are back with a vengeance, good news for ripping ladies everywhere! With a fat 116mm waist, hefty freestyle rocker and beveled smear tech tips and tails, these pow surfers are built to slash, smear, pivot and float effortlessly in soft snow. Armada's lightweight Poplar Ash core makes the ski lively and maneuverable without compromising stability on hard pack, meaning you can tear back down the lift for another lap through the deep stuff ASAP.

Technical Features

• Smear Tech: A 3D beveled base in the tip and tail that allows for effortless pivoting and prevents catching in crud or deep snow.
• Poplar Ash Core: Lightweight poplar wood combined with high-density ash stringers to create a lively, poppy feel without sacrificing dampness.
• Twin Tip Design: Near-symmetrical shape optimized for freestyle maneuvers and riding switch in deep powder.
• 1.7 Impact Edge: Light and strong heat-treated edges designed to balance durability with a low swing weight.

Performance Profile

• Best For: Advanced to expert female skiers seeking a dedicated "powder stick" for surfing, slashing, and floating through deep snow.
• Terrain: Primarily deep powder, tree skiing, and backcountry freestyle, though it remains maneuverable enough to carve back to the lift on hardpack.
