The ARV 88 is built on a snappy poplar chassis that delivers maximum pop and edge hold so you can carve hard and send it deep with lightweight stability all over the mountain. A touch of tip and tail rocker adds variable condition versatility to the package.
Shape + FlexAR FREESTYLE ROCKER: Rockered tips and tails are combined with positive camber underfoot allowing the ski to float and track through deep, variable snow while maintaining solid edge hold in firmer conditions.
Construction + CorePOPLAR CORE|ASH BINDING INSERT
The 100% Poplar Core delivers stability power, and pop for predictable response without excess weight.
Hardwood binding insert provides superior screw retention.
W3DGEWALL
The w3Dgewall is a 3D molded, injected sidewall that's angled where it joins the wood core. During ski construction, this creates a mechanical bond in the mold and a more uniform connection between the sidewall and core. With more material in strategic areas and a three-dimensional taper in the tip and tail, the w3Dgewall balances ideal performance characteristes with reduced weights.
Base + Edges2.5 IMPACT EDGE|S7 BASE
Oversized and specially heat treated, this edge is supremely durable and built to resist impact damage.
A sintered base optimized for speed, durability and wax retention.
