Product Info
The late 2000's were a crazy time. People were setting their top 8's on Myspace, MTV was doing Pimp My Ride, and Armada was making a ski called the ARG. Perhaps not so coincidentally, the ARG was basically what you'd get if you took your busted old Nissan to Xzibit and told him you like skiing powder. "Yo dawg, I heard you like fat skis, so we took some fat skis, fed them fat skis, and smooshed them all together into some super fat skis." Well the 2000's are back baby. The Armada ARG II UL Skis are live and bigger than ever, with a 135 mm waist, full rocker, and a reverse sidecut. They've been updated for the times with a lightweight Caruba core, but the DNA is still the same. These things pivot, surf, and smash through soft snow like nothing else can.
Product Details
Rocker Type
EST Powder Rocker – Rockered tip and tail combined with flat camber under foot provides the ultimate in smooth, pivotable powder turning combined with unmatched float.
Flex
Flex (1=Soft, 10=Stiff) – Tip: 10 | Mid: 9 | Tail: 10
Sidecut
Powder Specific Reverse Sidecut
Core
Caruba Core – Armada's lightest wood species creates the best uphill feel while retaining the power and dampness required for descending in the gnarliest of terrain. This core makes no concessions in its quest to be ultralight.
Sidewalls
AR50 Sidewall – Sidewalls provide improved edge pressure under the boot, while cap constuction in the tip and tail provides smooth turn initiation and less hookiness - 50% sidewall, 50% cap.
Base
Comp Series Base – Sintered UHMW polyethylene with added carbon aids in speed and durability on snow.
Edges
2.1 All-Mountain Edge – Heat treated and built to avoid excess weight while maintaining durability, this edge gives the best balance of durability and feel of Armada's whole collection.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain
Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Flat/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Flat/Rocker Rocker/Flat/Rocker is a variation on the rocker theme that seeks to provide a little more hard snow edgehold and pop than full rocker while retaining ease of turning and float. Performance is between a fully rockered ski and a rocker/camber/rocker ski.

Turning Radius:
Long

Turning Radius
Long > 22 m radius is best for powder and big-mountain.
- Core/Laminates: Wood

Tail Type:
Full Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Full Twin Tip Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
