Ok, usually I hate threads like this, but I found this funny.

Maybe they arnt making the THALL This year. . .? 

But on his ARMADA profile page (yes I'm bored), he lists his three favorite skis.

Three ARMADA skis and why:
1. JJ - best allround ski eva!
2. Pipe Cleaner - cause it cleans the pipe quite nice.
3. ARG - I like to float

Why isnt his ski in there?

Maybe the Pipe Cleaners work better overall than THalls? If I ain't totally wrong PC has more sidecut than THall?

I just feel like if it's named after him, maybe he should like it?  I donno.

 If I'm not mistaken, The THall is softer, with more flex, and designed for jibs and presses.  I don't see Tanner doing a whole lot of that kind of riding these days.  It seems like when he is riding park, he's lapping huge jumps.  It makes sense that he would prefer a faster stiffer ski.  I hear what you're saying...it does seem a bit odd that his signature ski doesn't really reflect his preffered style of riding.  Then again, when that ski came out, he was primarily noted for his slope results and urban.  My guess is that you'll see a newly redesigned pro model to better reflect his skiing next year ala Anthony B.

Yeah, I was pretty sure the ski was still in production.  I just found it curious that he doesnt like his own promodel

its becuase the pipe cleaner is the best park and pipe ski armada makes, and the other two are powder skis, something that the thall isnt so its not suprising at all it isnt one of his favorites.

Lets be honest. Armada skis are Tanner's pro skis.
