Armada arv 96 ti

[Lakotassksksksks]

Ive been on the market for durable park skis for a while and someone recommended the armada arv 96 ti, I’ve used the arv 96 before and the sidewall split, this year I bought the EDollos since they are more durable, and I loved the skis but the side wall split on those as well, I’m attaching some pictures, but is the ti’s worth buying?

Personally metal in the core wouldn’t be my go to for park, and they aren’t the lightest ski, but if Wolferman can do it you can too

Yeah i had that in mind but wasnt sure on if he was using stranger or 96ti, was it a slvsh video if so which one I can’t find it

I ride the ti as my daily and its pretty perfect for the boiler plate we get in Maine. I ride less park than I used to and its definitely heavy and stiff for a dedicated park ski. They are my 4th pair of Armadas and they have all held up well. Skis separating like in your picture right under the binding can be because the screws were not deep enough into the ski when it was mounted.

mine have been fine but honestly i havent skied enough these past couple years to really test the durability of stuff

happy to answer questions about them tho

How stiff are they really? I have the edollos and I quite like the flex on them so are they a lot more stiff? I also had the arv 96 last year and they where ok in terms of stiffness

they're pretty stiff, nothing insane but def stiff. and def damp. also to the person who mentioned it, yes wolferman was using them in the park a lot for a while

i'm crazy busy at work right now (the only place i check NS) but this weekend if you wanted i'd be happy to hand flex them, send a video or compare to another pair or whatever. if so just send me a DM on here and i'll give you my number to text

i like em a lot, honestly the only issue i have with them is 1) i'm back on the east coast and really don't need their stiffness/dampness. those qualities are great when you need em but on already-too-small mountains they do make things a little boring imo. and 2) the bases aren't super nice/fast. ive had pair after pair of ARVs over the years and they have definitely downgraded the bases on these (despite them being a ""premium line"" ski!) (i'm pretty butthurt about this)

Would be great if you could hand flex them and send a video of it

id be surprised if you can find them, I've seen I think two used pairs in the last 3-4 years because the people who bought them realllllly liked them and don't post them for sale.... have a couple homies who rode them in the park and they said that the increased stability was really nice for bigger jumps and stuff like that.

Ive found some un used ones on a used website

granted I haven't been looking super hard because I'm not actively looking for the ski but yeah I'm sure there's some floating around out there, just not a common ski to see on the used market is all I meant
