2027 Armada ARV 116 JJ UL — Men's Powder Ski
Available in store
CloseProduct details
The Armada ARV 116 JJ UL is an ultralight powder ski built for the deepest days at Big White, when the Okanagan powder piles up and you want a ski that floats effortlessly without weighing you down. A full Caruba wood core paired with a Rocker/Camber/Rocker profile delivers generous tip and tail rocker for surfy, playful float, while Smear Tech shaping keeps things catch-free through variable, chopped-up snow.

WHO IS THIS FOR |
The ARV 116 JJ UL suits advanced-to-expert skiers who want a dedicated powder ski light enough to tour with, whether you're bootpacking Big White's steeper pockets or chasing fresh snow after a big Okanagan storm. It trades some hard-charging stability for weight savings, so it shines most on deep days rather than firm groomers. Our team at Fresh Air will help you find the right ski and size in-store at both Kelowna locations. Stop by to talk with one of our experienced staff members, or call 250-763-3425. |
