I hate sounding like a gaper, but why does Armada not offer a fully symmetrical park ski?

oh my god, thats fucked up. me and my friend were just talking about this and i was like "im gonna make a thread about that" and i opened up gear talk and this was here. creeeyp. but yeah, it would really make sense for armada to make a symetrical ski.

Interesting indeed.... Kinda suprised they don't have a symmetrical model, given how many differant models of skis they make.

alpha 1's still ski fine, there's no real need for it
mount up some alpha 1's at -6 from true with dukes and you'll be good to go

but jj's are only 3mm's different from the tip and tail although the recommended line is -5

Do you want to elaborate? I figured it would be an advantage in the park just for the equal swing weight and for a ski that skis the same whether switch or not.

Especially on a rail oriented ski like the T-Halls, it seems like they would be better if symmetrical.

i think if armada made a symmetrical alpha 1 then it would porbably be the sickest ski out there
