Why We Like The Armada ARV 116 JJ Ski
Long since legendary, the Armada ARV 116 JJ Ski continues this skis legacy as a deep snow freestyle destroyer. Known for its control and maneuverability in powder, these skis boast prominent rocker in the tip and tail for float in deep snow and pivoting control, that is backed up by the short turn radius that encourages you to slash and carve in tight situations. Meanwhile, the burly ash and poplar core holds up to freestyle charging, while the half-cap construction allows us to hold an edge on firm and set big tricks.

The ARV 116, aka "JJ" was originally thought up by ARMADA C0-founder JP Auclair along with the rest of the ARMADA team. It quickly became the weapon of choice as Freestyle skiers pushed past the park bringing their sizzle to backcountry terrain and DEEP SNOW! This is the third iteration and it's dang near perfection. With the 3D shaped Smear tech in the tip and tail you can get absolutely "Pitted" on deep days and then dance through technical terrain with a surgical 19ish meter sidecut and powerful camber underfoot. Poplar and Ash Core keeps them planted and sturdy when you need it while keeping the tip & tail playfull and poppy!!! Smack an ARMADA Shift binding on there and you've got the perfect travel partner for any Storm Chasing mission you can Dream up...
