1) slays everything from trees to big mountain.
2) is designed purely for pow, thats it, thats all
3)Armada, the king of freeski innovation, hasn't changed the specs or flex...ever.

They still try to add some versatility with the like 2 mm of sidecut underfoot.  This relegates it to third, behind the donner party and praxis pows.  Praxis pows being first.

I think the Genome will rock next year as they are so so light for their size; great width; rocker etc.

They have changed the ARG a little bit, the bases changed from the first year/protos (got faster) and they changed how drastic the rocker is (e.g. rise from start to end point) from I believe 07-08 to 08-09.

The best pow ski is the DPS Lotus 138.

SHUT UP.

I own a pair of the OG AR5, 07/08 T-halls, Demoed 08/09 AR6,  and all of them flex different especially the AR5 vs AR6, the AR5 had and even flex through the ski. so ti would make a half circle like so ( , and noseblocks are impossible. now the ski is stiffer underfoot and has flex zones on the tip and tail  so it goes curved tail to straight underfoot to curved tip, also the ar5 would whelie out and now the ar6 has more backbone. the T-hall is similar, I find it a little bit softer than the AR6.

In all honesty, the Donner Party's probabaly are the best pure POW ski. Trying to charge crud isn't so good though. In powder though, oh my god.
