He did last year in the pipe, but now he has pipe cleaners soo yeah. He also used them in some clips of wski106. The ar5 and the thall are practicly the same ski, the thalls are just softer in the tips and tails.

lots of people dont ride there pro model 24/7, the t-hall is super soft, maybe too soft for really big hits??

Yea, he's been rocking the pipe's for this season probably cause that's what he want's to get better at. He couldn't stnad just winning slopestyle.

mostly backcountry? maybe this past year because of his broken ankles he was only able to shoot for a short time and they usually film alot of park after the mountains are closed (read up on your freeskier) but in every other movie he's been in I have seen him hit up park. and ar5's would hardly be called a BC ski

most of the time i usually dont see pros using their own skis. i think its mostly just marketing anyways.

THalls are too soft to ride pipe or big hits.
THalls are marketing, for fools with too much $$ to spend.

i think its just so people buy the skis, cause they are the pro signature model, but i do agree T-hall does use his skis less then all the other pros out there

last year the pipe cleaners were a proto-type and looked just like this years t-hall pro only w/ white bottoms (why would you use skis w/ detuned edges in the pipe)....oh and tanner owns part of armada in a way all the skis are his own diffrent pro model

marketing......he used his name for a ski because it would sell really well and tanner fans would buy it...which means a lot of people, he probably doesnt even prefer this ski over the others.
