Luke Koppa & Dylan Wood review the Armada ARG II UL for Blister

2024-2025 Armada ARG II UL

by
The original Armada ARG was one of the earliest “superfat,” ultra-powder-specific models to hit the market in the mid-2000s.

Check out our Full Review & Deep Dive comparisons for the whole story.

2024-2025 Volkl Revolt 114

by
We were a bit surprised when we first saw the Volkl Revolt 114. It bears the same family name as their very playful, freestyle-oriented models, yet its overall design seems more in line with much more directional freeride options. So, is it some weird mutant of a ski? Check out our Full Review & Deep Dive comparisons to find out.
