Armada ARW Skis 2008 - Grete Eliassen took gold last year against the best women in skiing at ESPN’s Winter X Games. Then she took her vision and made the Armada ARW Ski - a women’s-specific park performance ski. Grete’s idea is essentially the AR6 with a women’s touch. She started off by trimming some weight with reduced dimensions and a thinner version of Armada’s all-wood AR Core 2. She gave the ARW yoga-like flex with Carbon Fiber Stringers, Sandwich Fiberglass Laminates and specific Flex Profiling. The 2.5 Impact Edge and Seven Series Base makes the Armada ARW tough on the surface, but soft on the inside.
-
AR Core 2- The outer edges of the core are more strategically targeted with a strong wood laminate, without the hardwood center you find in Armada AR Core 1. This provides durability and further weight savings.
-
ABS Construction- Armada’s strongest and most performance based type of construction. This type of construction is more material and labor intensive than cap construction.
-
S7 Base- This sintered base provides both speed and durability. Minimal tuning required and it’s easy to repair.
-
Sandwich Fiberglass- The perfect blend of Uni & Bi directional composite fiberglass mixed with carbon fiber stringers creates a union that provides positive edge control and precisely the right amount of torsion and pop.
2.5 Edge- These oversized edges are heat treated to Armada’s custom specifications to help minimize edge breakage and maximize durability.
