The Armada ARV 116 JJ UL is a lightweight freeride ski crafted for days spent off-piste and in softer snow. Its flat binding platform keeps things straightforward, making it a good choice for riders who want a ski that feels lively in powder without extra complexity.
At 185 cm, the ARV 116 JJ UL carries a 139/116/135 mm profile that delivers strong flotation in deep snow while still providing enough edge contact for stability on firmer sections. Weighing 1 725 g per ski, it sits in the freetouring category, striking a balance between uphill efficiency and downhill performance so you can spend more time exploring and less time catching your breath.
The 18 m radius points to a ski tuned for medium-radius turns, offering a versatile feel whether you’re threading through trees or carving open slopes. The sidecut—wider tip and tail tapering to a narrower waist—helps initiate turns smoothly and holds tracks when you want to lay down an arc.
