I haven't ridden either, but I would imagine that the Rossi's are a little lighter because they use that THC core, which is a combination of foam and wood right?

As far as which is better, I don't know.

what do you want to do with the skis? park, backcountry, allmountain?

this year's scratch bc's are supposed to be really nice, but other than that, armada will probably blow each comparable rossi ski out of the water.

t-halls only come in 176, but the difference between a 176 and 179 isn't noticeable.

if you want park and urban, either get the t-halls or ar5's, but i hope you realize that any ski used for urban is going to take a beating to the edges. pros can ride new skis on rails no problem because they can just go ask for a new pair, but that's why most people have specific rail skis. just my 5 cents

hmmm, 5'11" eh, go with the 170's if your going to use them for only like a year, but if your going to more get the 180's or whatever and grow into them. they are deff. sick skis, i would get them again but they are the same as my skis now just diff. graphics, i dont need to pay 500 bucks for graphics tho haha

doubt it cuz of the rounded edge thing...

as for the guy who started this the thalls in the 180 would be good mayb a little long but u could get away with it, if not get the 176s

the scratch's are 200 times better than the ar5's. armadas delaminate like its going out of style. end of story.
