Finding your size

Choosing the right ski length comes down to your height and skill level. As a rule of thumb, a ski standing on end should reach somewhere between your chin and forehead.

Shorter (–5 cm) = quicker turns, more playful
Longer (+5 cm) = more stability, speed and float

Skill level explanations

Beginner

Learning the basics and building confidence. Shorter skis turn more easily and stay controllable at lower speeds.

Advanced

Comfortable on all groomers and starting to explore off-piste. A mid-length ski balances maneuverability and stability.

Expert

Skiing aggressively in all conditions. Longer skis give the stability and power you want at speed.

Pick your riding style

Freestyle / Park

Do you like jumps, rails, and/or doing tricks all over the mountain? Then you’re a freestyle skier. Whether you're skiing in or out of the park, freestyle skiers should look for skis with twin tips and somewhat softer flexes.

Explore ARV Madsteez Series, ARV Black Series, ARW Series, BDOG 94 and EDOLLO 91.

Touring

Do you like to earn your turns? Always seeking out deep stashes and steep lines outside the boundaries? You’re a backcountry skier. Backcountry skiers need skis with lightweight constructions that are efficient on the uphill. They also need versatile waist widths and enough rocker to handle everything from deep pow to sunbaked mank to refrozen hardpack.

Explore Locator Series, Whitewalker 116, ARV JJ UL 116.

All Mountain

Do you like to ski all over the mountain? Some groomers here, some tree stashes there? Frontside, backside, every side? You’re an all-mountain skier. All-mountain skiers should look for skis with versatile performance characteristics like a wide enough waist width to handle a bit of soft snow with a moderately stiffer flex and enough camber to hold an edge on hardpack.

Explore Antimatter Series, Antimatter W Series, ARV Madsteez Series, ARV Black Series and ARW Series.

Freeride

Are you into high speeds, big air, and off-trail big-mountain charging? You’re a freeride skier. Freeride skiers need a ski that is stable at high speeds and handles variable conditions from powder to hardpack. These skis have stiffer flexes and often feature construction with metal layers to provide damping and stability.

Explore Antimatter Series, Antimatter W Series, ARV Madsteez 106, ARV Black 106, ARV Madsteez 112, ARV Black 112, ARW 106, Whitewalker 116.

What conditions do you ski

Where and how you ski points you toward the right waist width — narrow for hardpack and groomers, wide for powder, mid for everything in between.

Snow / terrain	What to look for
Groomers and park	Narrower waist (80–90 mm), quick edge-to-edge. [ARV Series](/collections/arv-series), [ARW Series](/collections/arw-series), [EDOLLO](/collections/signature-series) & [BDOG](/collections/signature-series)
Mixed conditions	Mid-width (90–100 mm), versatile. [ARV series](/collections/arv-series), [ARW Series](/collections/arw-series) & [Antimatter Series](/collections/antimatter-series)
Powder and deep snow	Wide waist (100 mm+), better float. [ARV series](/collections/arv-series), [ARW Series](/collections/arw-series) & [Whitewalker](/collections/signature-series)

QUESTIONS ABOUT ARMADA BDOG 94

What size BDOG 94 do I need?

Sizing depends on which part of your setup you are buying. Skis, poles and skins are measured in centimetres, ski boots in Mondopoint, which is the length of your foot in centimetres, and bindings by brake width in millimetres. As a guide, choose a ski between chin and forehead height, a pole that puts your elbow at 90 degrees when you grip it upside down under the basket, a boot matching your measured foot length, a skin matching your ski length, and a brake width equal to your ski waist or up to 15 mm wider. The size chart on this page lists every size available.

Will the BDOG 94 work with the rest of my setup?

Three things decide compatibility in an alpine setup. Your boot sole norm has to match your binding, and alpine ISO 5355, GripWalk ISO 23223 and touring pin systems are separate standards that are not interchangeable. Your binding brake width has to be equal to or slightly wider than the waist of your ski. Your skins have to match both the length and the waist width of your ski, then be trimmed to its sidecut. Any certified ski shop can confirm a pairing before you ride it.

Who is the BDOG 94 built for?

Every product in the Armada alpine range is built around a discipline, whether that is park, all-mountain, freeride or touring, and around a rider level. Softer, more forgiving gear is easier at lower speeds and while you are still progressing. Stiffer gear holds an edge better at speed and on firm snow but asks for more input to work properly. Matching your gear to the terrain you actually ski most days matters more than choosing the most aggressive option available.

Does the BDOG 94 need professional setup?

Anything that affects binding release does. Skis and bindings have to be mounted and adjusted by a certified technician, who sets your release value from your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type, then tests it on a calibrated machine. Never adjust release values yourself. Ski boots benefit from a proper fitting and can usually be heat moulded. Skins are trimmed to the sidecut of your ski before the first tour. Poles are ready to use straight out of the box.

How do I care for and store the BDOG 94?

Dry everything after every day on snow, because trapped moisture rusts edges and breaks down glue and foam. Wax skis every three to five days of skiing, and finish the season with a thick coat of storage wax left unscraped. Pull boot liners out and dry them at room temperature, never on a radiator or in a hot car. Have bindings tested once a year and back the DIN off for summer storage. Dry skins fully, then store them glue to glue or on their mesh, away from heat.
