isnt the camber or something built specifically for pipe, so it snot super sweet every where else.

idk about camber but it has a racing base and thin edges to go fast and save weight (respectively). I remember reading somewhere theyre bad for rails cuz of the soft base and the thin edges. Theyre really a jump and pipe ski.

yo i have a pair...i ride them everywhere, they are sick. the base holds wax for an eternity and slides pretty dang fast, their basically a lighter more AR5-y version of the AR6...all around a dope ass ski. if you can find a pair and need something to slay the world with i'd get it

the entire thin edge thing is completely false. go check the armada website, they have the same width edges as the Ar6 and the Thalls.

i have them and i ski them all over. they are a super sick ski and slay the pipe as well as park. way light and nice and buttery but not to soft. all around amazing ski.

I've been riding them this season, they have an ultra low swing weight, can rip like crazy on the groomed stuff and certainly kick major amounts of ass in the pipe and on jumps. I have only taken them on a few rails, but they were great.

I just got a pair of T-Halls last week and had them centermounted, I took a few runs with them at Breck and wasn't insanely stoked... Then again, I haven't ridden a center mounted ski since the line 1260. And we all know how long ago those were out.

I'm going to ride the crap out of the t-hall this weekend in Aspen.

The PCs are amazing. I don't really like rails too much and won't hit them on that ski. They perform great all over the mountain, but they really excel in the park. Not only are they fast, but the construction handles the speed exceptionally well. I would recommend them to people who like to ski fast w/ little turning and love to jump (pipe and park).
