The ARV 96 combines the best elements of a freestyle skis light nimble handling with the energy and control of a freeride model. AR Freestyle Rocker uses rocker at the tip and tail with positive camber underfoot, allowing you to charge with ease through unpredictable snow and hold a carve on firm conditions. The Poplar Ash Core mixes light and denser woods in horizontal laminates to create a lively ski that has all the power needed.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Genuinely ready for anything, except maybe the very deepest days. It has a firm enough flex and construction that it will grip on hard snow and hold an edge whether pushing out carved turns or maxing the speed through difficult snow, but it's not so stiff that it hinders in the park and will still butter and press.Skier TypeFreestyle skiers who want to go everywhere on the mountain. The width boosts float as well as stability. The flex keeps things playful but is easily stiff enough for high-speed turns on pistes and going full-gas through chopped snow.OverviewShape96mm in the waist works for a variety of conditions without negatively affecting park performance. It's wide enough to float and feel stable in softer/deeper snow, but still narrow enough to feel good on firm conditions. The 17.5m (163cm) radius is medium for a ski like this, mixing stability with turning so it that it feels good everywhere.RockerAR Freestyle Rocker uses rockered tips and tails combined with positive camber under foot to allow the ski to charge with ease through unpredictable snow and maintain a solid carve when asked to do so. Turn the whole mountain into your playground.CoreArmada's Poplar Ash Core uses lightweight poplar combined with higher density full-length ash stringers to create an impossibly lively ski that has all the power needed for boosting to new elevations.ConstructionThe AR75 Sidewall uses semi-cap sidewall along the majority of the ski with a full cap at the tip and tails.
