Skis comparison — 2012-2013 season
Compare two models
How they compare
the Armada AR7 leans more freestyle / park, while the Armada Bubba leans more powder. They share a twin tip shape — symmetrical tips for skiing switch and park; playful and forgiving. The Armada AR7 has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Armada Bubba uses rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). The Armada AR7 targets advanced riders while the Armada Bubba is aimed at expert riders. At $159.9 vs $449 MSRP, the Armada AR7 is the more budget-friendly option.
