Meet the Armada ARV 84 (Short) 23/24, a 143 cm ski built around an 84 mm waist. It’s designed to offer a lively, responsive feel underfoot, making it easy to move in and out of turns without losing composure.
The ARV 84’s 10.3 m turn radius at this length delivers quick, nimble carving when you want to lock into an arc or flick around park features. Its 117/84/109 sidecut profile balances stability at the tip and tail with enough waist width to keep things playful, and the flat mounting surface lets you pick your own binding setup without added stack height.
Here’s what the specs mean: the turn radius tells you the path the ski naturally follows—smaller numbers mean sharper, more responsive turns. The three measurements (tip/waist/tail in millimetres) define the ski’s sidecut, which affects how easily it initiates and exits turns. Weighing in at 1,375 g per ski, it strikes a solid balance between pop and on-snow feel.

Armada says about the ARV 84 (Short) 23/24
Our entry-level all-mountain freestyle twin, the ARV 84 is intentionally built to deliver all you need in a freestyle ski with nothing you don’t. Its heavy-duty Cap construction and 2.5 Impact Edge means you don’t have to worry about your skis when getting started in the park or hitting features all over the mountain. The ARV 84 will take as much abuse as you can dish out, meaning it won’t break and it also won’t break the bank.
