So I am going to buy a pair of this years skis for next season. I ski mostly park probably 90%. I am 130 Lbs. and about 5’ 8”,but I am going to grow a little before next season, I am looking to get a ski about 170. Two of my friends just got the T-Halls, but I don’t know how well they perform outside the park with the detuned edges. So I am wondering which ski I should get?

170 T-Halls
170 AR5
170 STL
Other?

if you ski 90% park, who cares how they perform outside the park. thalls are apparently pretty soft, but if you ride park, and are pretty light, give'r, if ya gots the money to burn.

and don't worry about the detuned edges. all edges will eventually become detuned anyways once you start hitting rails. the stiffness of the ski has more impact on how it holds up on the groomers and whatnot anywho.

as he stated, hes buying a pair of this years skis, so the t-halls without detuned edges are out of the question, so are the new TMs. But if he is skiing 90% park then any edges are going to be rounded underfoot so its no big deal.

as I said before, 176 t-halls.
