Armada ARV 116 JJ UL Ski - 192cm, "Light is right if you want to stay on top of Utah's famous blower powder this winter. When fresh snow stacks up, the Armada ARV 116 JJ UL will keep you afloat no matter how deep it gets. The UL is the ultralight model that's 25% lighter than the ARV 116 JJ. Armada achieved this weight reduction by using their lightest core made from caruba wood and combining it with a fiberglass laminate and less metal in the edges. The result is a surfy powder ski that's light enough to use for backcountry touring while still being sturdy to rip inbounds. With the same playful AR Freestyle Rocker profile as the standard 116 JJ, you get premium powder performance from significant tip splay that works with the tip taper to effortlessly keep you on top of the fresh. Even with a nearly twin-tipped profile, this is not a fully rockered powder ski-camber underfoot allows you to hold an edge on steep, technical pitches and charge through variable snow with maximum confidence. And, Armada's Smear Tech 3D base beveling lets you go sideways instantly, so you can slash and butter powder pillows without worrying about catching an edge. Make the Armada ARV 116 JJ UL your resort storm ski or backcountry powder ski-and with a hybrid touring binding, you can easily switch between both. 116 mm waist underfoot keeps these skis afloat like pontoons Smear Tech base beveling on the tips and tails lets you spin sideways on a dime AR Freestyle Rocker features tip and tail splay with camber underfoot for all-mountain performance Winter 2023/24 model Equipped With Smear Tech Smear Tech is a 3D beveled base in the tip and tail that creates a unique feel in all snow conditions. Less likely to catch in crud, self-centering in deep snow and uncatchable on takeoffs, Smear Tech lets you float effortlessly whether sliding forwards, backwards, or sideways. 1.7 Lightweight Edge Light and strong, this heat-treated edge minimally affects the feel of the ski to ensure a snappy, lightweight feel. Laminate Matrix Armada's Laminate Matrix uses a directional layering of fiberglass that dictates the flex pattern and torsional rigidity of the ski to create a lively and forgiving feel with quick response. S7 Base A sintered base optimized for speed, durability, and wax retention. AR75 Sidewall Sidewall on 75% of the ski to allow for weight savings on tip and tail while maintaining rigidity and drive in the prime zone. AR Freestyle Rocker AR Freestyle Rocker features rockered tips and tails combined with positive camber underfoot to allow the ski to charge with ease through unpredictable snow and maintain a solid carve when asked to do so. Caruba Core Armada's lightest wood core material creates the best uphill feel while retaining the power and damping characteristics required for descending the gnarliest terrain. This core makes no performance concessions in its quest to be ultra-light."""
