2027 Armada ARV 84 JR Skiswith Bindings

Kids who want to ski the whole mountain finally have a ski tuned for that style in the Armada ARV 84 JR. The twin-tip shape skis forward and backward equally well, opening the door to switch skiing and easy park laps without fighting the ski. It is light enough for young skiers to swing around on their own and built tough enough to survive the kind of skiing kids actually do, from groomed runs to a session at the jib park. The result is a versatile, durable first park-and-mountain ski for young rippers ready to explore everything the resort has to offer.

Who it's for:

Young rippers ready to explore everything the resort has to offer. It fits progressing kids who ski groomers with family and then disappear into the park.

Things to consider:

Building for survival costs a little weight and polish next to a dedicated park ski, which a committed young freestyler will eventually notice. Once the snow gets deep, this width runs out of float.

Fit & sizing considerations:

A turned-up tail shortens the running length, so this ski measures longer than it skis. Most kids do well at their own height, with a size down making park laps easier and a size up adding steadiness on groomers.
