Armada triple quiver

Wyatt_05I have a pair of armada 84 and I really like them, I ski resort around the Tetons and I really like the 84’s because they are stable enough to handle groomers, powder and I can still take them to he park.

anders_ahah, you fat bastard, I'm 190cm and 110KG only ;)

I have the 116 JJ and the arv 96, for us bigger boys the ARV 96 feels shoooooooooooooort, but its still damn fun. nollies and energy stuff in park is pretty cool on them. it WILL FEEL SHORT, but at the same time, short can be good for learning stuff, I mounted mine -2 from center, 100% center mount is just going to feel like children skis.

116JJ is also on softer side, but soft can be cool, dont expect to charge on it, then you need like a revolt 121, 191cm.

smartinJust wanted to hear your opinion.
I'm going to be replacing my current set of skis, and I need a bit of advice.

About me.

Mid 30s
190cm/6,2ft
115kg/250lbs
Been skiing for three years, I've started doing more park and learning to jump, but definately enjoy some touring, back country/ powder days and cruising the most.

Currently i have

Fischer Ranger 116 2021 - Kingpin bindings
On3p Steeple 108 2017 - Jester bindings
Since I'm a large dude I've realized that i prefer big skis.. (Go figure.)


I've gotten the opportunity to get a good deal from Armada, so i thought I'd give it a try.
What I'm currently looking at is;

ARV 116JJ 192cm - Shift 13 Bindings
I'm thinking of using this ski for small tours with epic conditions, and as my powder/soft snow ski.

Tracer 108 188cm - Shift 13 Bindings
More touring oriented and groomers/daily driver.

ARV 96 184cm - STH2 16 binding
For having more fun in park, moguls, maybe learn a trick and playing in the local resort.


The skis I'm most concerned about is the Tracer (if the ARV 106 would be a better daily driver),
and if I'd have more fun on a dedicated park ski like EDollo, rather than ARV96.
(My reasoning is since I'm heavier, the EDollo will probably be too soft for me?)

Any insight here is much apreciated!

smartinHahaha! Touché!

Well, It doesn't bother me too much as most of the extra weight is located between the knees and ads to a low center of gravity.
*Insert awkward (very manly) laugh*

Yeah, I reckon that they'll feel small, but I guess I could compensate with an extra (extra extra) large hoodie for park cred? :P
But jokes aside, I guess for the purpose, them being small ain't too bad :)

But that's some REALLY good insight!
I read somewhere that the WhiteWalker is stiffer than the 116JJ, is that something I should consider instead?

Pardon stupid questions, but how do the 116's feel soft? Unstable in high speed?

Thanks again!

severniyIf I were you, I would go:
Armada ARV 96TI 184 mounted on -2 for park

Declivity 102Ti in 188 It’s still light enough to justify it as 50/50 setup.

Armada white walker 192 for pow and tour - you would appreciate lightness while touring and wouldn’t notice it on lift accessed epic pow days
