Limited Edition skis. Original artwork. Money for avalanche forecasting. Yes, please.
More (custom skis) is always better.
The third-ever Powder7 custom ski pays homage to that magical, life-giving compound at the center of our existence: water. Sure, life wouldn’t exist without it. But more importantly, SKIING wouldn’t exist without it.
Shop the new Armada ARW 106 UL (164 cm and 180 cm)
With topsheets designed by our very own Sarah Beabout in Crested Butte, Colorado, the Armada Powder7 ARW 106 UL (offered in 164cm and 180cm sizes) reminds us how connected we are as skiers to the world around us. That…and how sick nature looks when you let Sarah make some illustrations.
That beautiful graphic jives with two other key notes about this ski. One, it’s ultra-fun on snow. And two, it supports an important mission. Each pair kicks a $100 donation to Friends of the Colorado Avalanche Information Center. Especially during a time when the ski industry is seeing an explosion of backcountry users, CAIC’s work in avy safety and forecasting proves invaluable time and time again.
Oh…the ski. The Powder7 Armada ARW 106 UL takes one of our favorite brand-new 2022 skis and makes it better. The ARW 106 UL is a 12% lighter version of Armada’s ARV 106, built in a full unisex size run. It’s light enough to tour, sturdy enough to burn resort hot laps, and playful enough to throw down in whatever soft snow you find.
Accessible enough for intermediate skiers and legit enough for fun-loving experts, it’s probably our favorite “lightweight freeride ski” to date. And as if that and the outstanding topsheets weren’t enough, we’re kicking $100 per ski to Friends of the Colorado Avalanche Information Center to help them keep doing the critical work they do.
And of Course…a Print Version
As soon as Sarah finished the initial design for the skis, we knew we needed to do more than just slap it on a pair of sticks. So, the Water Cycle Print gives you another way to enjoy the illustration without shelling out the money for the ski.
Of course, we recommend springing for both.
