First Look: Armada ARV JJ Powder Skis

This winter has been epic. Massive amounts of powder have given me the itch to pick up new gear, and super-wide powder skis have been on my shopping list for awhile. I’m now the proud owner of a set of Armada ARV JJ skis with Armada bindings.


I was able to try these wide boards out once in spring conditions, not powder. Not optimal but I had to try them before the snow melted. I’ll be putting these into play as soon as the powder hits for the 2019-2020 season, and posting a review soon.

Stay tuned, so to speak.

Near Death Experience Skiing

Ever have a near-death experience? This Main Chute on Mt. Baldy at Alta Ski Area. I stop by now and then to thank my old friend for chewing me up and spitting me out ALIVE.

Mt. Baldy Chute

I’ve heard I was the only one who fell the entire way from top to bottom and survived. I skied away with only a dislocated shoulder many years ago. Thanks again, old friend…
