The ARV 88 is the narrowest and stiffest ski in Armada's ARV line-up, built with a poplar wood core and w3Dgewall construction for excellent grip and durability across variable conditions. Tip-and-tail rocker paired with solid camber underfoot delivers predictable turn initiation and a confident carve, while an oversized, heat-treated edge holds firm even on hard-packed or icy pistes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaired with the Strive 13D binding - a dependable, high-DIN all-mountain option - this is a lightweight, responsive setup for skiers who want precision and stability as they push harder across the whole mountain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border: none; border-top: 1px solid #e5e3dc; margin: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-family: 'Barlow Condensed', sans-serif; font-size: 24px; color: #1a1a1a; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.5px; border-left: 4px solid #C0392B; padding-left: 12px; margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eSki Condition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center; margin: 0 0 16px;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3823\/5722\/files\/Ski_Condition_6.svg?v=1785063195\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent condition, an ex-demo ski only used a handful of times.
