Armada Alpha 1 vs Armada ARV
Skis comparison — 2012-2013 season
Compare two models
How they compare
the Armada Alpha 1 leans more freestyle / park, while the Armada ARV leans more all mountain. They share a twin tip shape — symmetrical tips for skiing switch and park; playful and forgiving. The Armada Alpha 1 has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Armada ARV uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise).
