The 2025 Armada ARW 112 is a full-throttle, powder-hungry twin built for skiers who treat every mountain like a terrain park. With a 112mm waist and true twin shape, it’s Armada’s widest women’s freestyle offering—tailored for those who want to slash, butter, spin, and stomp their way through deep days without ever feeling bogged down.

This year’s ARW 112 is built around a lightweight karuba wood core, giving the ski a nimble, responsive feel without sacrificing backbone. Armada’s new w3Dgewall construction—essentially a 3D-molded sidewall built into the ski’s structure—improves power transfer and durability while keeping weight down. Rocker in the tip and tail, combined with camber underfoot, makes for a ski that floats easily but can still hold an edge when the snow firms up. And thanks to the mid-soft flex, it’s surprisingly forgiving for how wide it is—perfect for creative, surfy lines.

On snow, this ski feels like a surfboard with an attitude. It’s playful in powder, slashes through trees, and takes natural features in stride. But make no mistake—it’s not a one-trick pow pony. The ARW 112 holds its own on windbuff and variable snow, and with its moderate turn radius and centered stance, it’s as ready for switch landings as it is for charging big mountain lines with style.

Compared to the previous year, Armada’s updates have focused on construction rather than shape. The addition of the w3Dgewall brings extra bite and longevity without altering the ARW’s easygoing personality. If anything, it feels a little more composed at speed and more precise on edge, while still delivering that floaty, freestyle-flexy ride fans love.

If you're deciding between this and the ARW 106, think of the 112 as the bolder, deeper-day sibling—it gives up a bit of agility for more surf in soft snow. Against peers like the Faction Prodigy 3.0X or the Salomon QST Stella 106, the ARW 112 holds its own with a more playful flex and a purer freestyle spirit.
