The read

The ARV 100 is an all-mountain freestyle ski built for riders who split time between groomers and off-piste terrain. Its 100mm waist sits wider than roughly 79 percent of all-mountain skis in the catalog, and rocker-camber-rocker shaping aids float and turn entry without sacrificing underfoot grip. The 18-meter radius and metal-free construction lean toward sweeping arcs and a lively, easy-to-flex feel that suits an active skier comfortable driving a soft, energetic platform.

Specs & what they mean

What the ARV 100's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 18.0-meter radius draws medium-to-long turns and holds a line through them; a moderate taper keeps entry manageable without giving up much grip mid-arc.

Stability & dampness

Built without metal, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,808 g it stays light and maneuverable.

Float & width

At 100 mm it leans toward soft-snow float while keeping enough edge to hold when it firms up. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
