If you are a more powerful skier get the stls, but if your not get the t-halls.

yeah, this years STLs are alot stiffer than last seasons, (especially in the tails). WAY WAY better all mountain ski than last years, and WAY nicer off jumps. at the same time, its slightly more difficult to cank big tail butters around. the T halls are not nearly as good all mountain, and also are more jib specific. so pretty much, if all your doin is rails and jibs, go tanners. if you wanna ski the whole park plus everything to and from, DEFINATLY STLs. id seriously reccomend those skis, as ive been incredibly stoked on mine. plus, they are cheaper.

^and dont get me wrong, the STL is still one hell of a jib ski. i personally would take it over the t halls even if thats all i was doin.

STLs hands down...my cousin was ridin' them and i took em for a run and they can perform where ever. my best friend has the Thalls and he likes them but sometimes wishes they werent so soft, but he isnt a park rat so thats his stupid fault for buying jib skis

the STLs are the best skis ive ever owned. they work well everywhere on the mountain and kill it in the park.

the STL has way better construction than the t-Hall, way better buy for your dollars worth at that price

The stl's edges look mad small and look like they wouldnt last long at all. Am I wrong, if so why?

yeah. the edges are plenty burly. after a year of nothing but rails, urbans included, mine only had 2 or 3 small cracks. nothing bad at all.
