i like to ski a bit of park and a fair bit of steeps and pow, but can only afford to buy one pair of skis. these are the three i have looked into so far. any opinions on the matter would be very helpful. cheers guys

Ar6 would be the best bet. The t-hall does well outside of the park, contrary to what others say. Still, the added stabability and width of the ar6 would help preformance wise.

the bridge is a bit different from the other two, a wider platform and slightly stiffer than the ar6. The ar6 is great all around, and the thall is the opposite end, pretty soft. Personally, for a one-ski quiver and some steeps the bridge seems like a really sick option

why not go for the volkl wall?
the t-hall seems more geared towards straight park, the ar6 sounds ok
also, check out the scratch ghetto or FS
K2 pe's are nice all-mountian, as are Line Chronics, and salomon foils

Its bullshit what people say about T-Halls. The preform great everywhere. They arent a "park specific ski" like the invader. Hell, the wall is more park specific than the T-Hall in my mind.
Other than that, those all seem like great choices!

i was just pointing out that the t-halls flex and such was more geared towards park, you can really take any ski anywhere, some just perform better in certain places
i thought the walls replaced the karmas...those are sweet all-mountain

walls are like karmas, but they have gone symmetric this year, so they won't be as all mountain as they used to be, I'm not sure if the flex has changed though

^I believe that it is replacing the Gotama.

The walls are nothing like the Karmas. The walls are center mounted, symetrical, and more for park. Karmas were an all mountain twin-tip. The bridges are real nice, and lil fatter than the Karmas.

its filling the gap between the mantra and whats formerly the karma (now wall). the ski is ridic, just got em in my shop and was scoping them out, graphic is sick, flex pattern seems nice, very sweet all around
