Specs & what they mean

What the ARV 88's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 16.0-meter radius sits in the all-purpose range — turn shapes that shorten up or open out without committing to either; a moderate tip taper keeps turn entry easy while the shovel still engages.

Stability & dampness

Built without metal on a poplar ash wood core, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,600 g it stays light and maneuverable.

Float & width

At 88 mm it's an all-rounder leaning toward firm snow — enough width for soft conditions, still quick on edge. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
