Grab this stunning brand new ARV 116 JJ ski in a 192cm length at a fantastic price due to bindings being removed.
We have filled the holes with wood cores ready to mount a new binding, and by doing so the integrity of the ski is restored too.
This ski has never been used, and simply sat in our ski storage room waiting for a new home :)
Ski Details - What The Brand Says
The legendary Armada ARV 116 JJ continues to write itself into the skiing history books. It comes with a poplar-ash wood core for maximum energy return and pop when shredding steep lines and tight treeruns. The balanced flex profile is ideal for surfing powder while offering enough stiffness in tip and tail to excel in tight and difficult conditions. The Smear Tech 3D base bevel in tip and tail makes for easy presses and butters.
Riding Style
A freestyle/powder ski for advanced riders.Shape, design, profile and construction have been specially tuned to deliver the best performance in powder. At the same time it is still playful enough for freestyle riding in the backcountry, no matter if high cliffs, kickers and switch landings in powder.
Shape
This ski comes with a Directional Twin shape, the nose is a few millimetres wider than the tail, with a central binding position. Thus the ski offers you the same skiing characteristics forward and switch. However, thanks to the slightly wider nose you get a little more uplift in the soft snow.
Profile
This ski comes with a classic Camber under the binding and a Rocker in the nose and tail. This profile is perfect for any terrain. Precision and pop for park and slope, good uplift in soft snow.The Rocker in the nose and tail also creates an additional, loose, tilt-free riding experience. Just like the shape of a spoon, Smear Tech 3-D Base technology lifts the contact points on the nose and tail off the snow to prevent catching edge and increase uplift in pow.
Flex
The stiff flex provides precise control at high speeds with high responsiveness.
Construction
The AR75 sidewall construction comes with a cap construction in tip and tail and with a sidewall under the binding. The cap construction in tip and tail reduces the swing weight, while the sidewall makes the ski more robust. The poplar/ash wood core combines lightweight wood with a denser, stiffer wood in a horizontal laminate, for an incredibly lively ride. The S7 base is robust and low maintenance and comes with a speed additive for more speed.

Ski Buyers Guide
Buying a pair of skis doesn't need to be a daunting experience. When buying a pair of skis, there are a few simple pieces of information that will help you to find your perfect match. With the introduction of carving skis and new technology, ski length is based more on the user’s weight than the tradition of using your height. Combine this with your ski level and your aspirations and this will help narrow your choice very quickly. Follow these simple steps:
STEP 1 - ABILITY
Firstly choose your current skiing level from the list below:
1 - Never skied before
2 - I can stop with a snowplough
3 - I am doing snowplough turns, and the odd blue run
4 - I am starting to parallel ski and onto blue runs
5 - I am venturing onto reds, and starting to make step turns
6 - I am getting confident on reds, and maybe doing the odd black
7 - I am comfortable skiing most black runs
8 - I am confortable on ice, and venturing off-piste
9 - I am skiing off-piste aggresively, and carving across all pistes
10 - I am a professional experienced ski instructor or racer

- INTERMEDIATE (Level 4-6)
- ADVANCED (Level 6-8)
- EXPERT (Level 8-9)

- - All mountain skiing conditions (piste and off-piste)
- - Off-piste skiing (powder)
- - Ski touring
STEP 3 - SKI LENGTH
For selecting the correct ski length, we take your ability, weight and where you will use the skis, and can calculate an approximate length:
STEP 3 - FINAL ADJUSTMENT FOR SKILL LEVELThe final calculation- For
NOVICE skiers, this is your recommended length. For
INTERMEDIATE and
ADVANCED skiers we recommend adding 5cm to the above measurement, and for
EXPERT and
