ar6 no doubt. cooler looking. stiiffer in the tail so u dont wash out and u have stability. buttery in the nose so u can do presses and shit. ar6 all the way .

lol didnt expect him to recommend ar6s

if youre not jumping a lot i would say get the t-halls if you are going to be riding mostly urban and rails you will have a lot more fun on them and they will perform fine on jumps in my opinion ar6s are better for jumps but ya go with t-halls for urban will make butters/presses ect way more easy and fun

T-halls were made for shredding rails and urban. ar6 is made for big kickers aswell as some rail and jib. but t-halls for sure. and you can still hit jumps with them also because they made it stiffer this year.

when flexing both at the shop yesterday, the ar6 is suprisingly softer in the nose than the t hall. but in the tail, the t hall is softer than the ar6s tail.

just kinda filling you in.

i would just go with the t halls because the flex points on the ski are closer toward the binding than the ar6 for better presses and butters. but, im not really sure how much that affects it really... i got ar6s, and i thought about returning them for thalls because i wanted a softer ski, but after i hand flexed both, i was happy that i didnt return my ar6s. they are softer in the nose which will be better for butters, and stiffer in the tail which will be better for all mountain riding. but just for urban and rails, go thall.

Dude, t halls are fine on jumps coz theyr still stiff as shit under foot ... Sure if you land off center regularly you might regret gettin em but i was happily stomping 50 footers with 07/08 t halls and they were way softer than the 09/10's ...

ok but he said he is not doing jumps and t-halls are more rail specific than ar6's

I also live in Qc and I just got some t-halls. I was thinking about the ar6 but since I will only do small jumps and a lot of rails I went for the t-halls cause I don't need a stiff ski and the t-halls will be more fun, you should go for them if you want a fun ski for rails.

Thalls are the more fun of the two, and since you just ski rails and urban with them I'd go with those, they are slightly lighter and have a softer flex pattern making butters and rail tricks more fun.

I think on skipass I read that the t-halls are a bit heavier but its skipass so what they say is not always true but anyways you wont see any difference while skiing.

I have both of the skis you are talking about. They have the same dimensions so it really just comes down to the flew pattern. You WILL feel more butter-ability in the T-Halls then the AR6 but they both are a lot softer in the nose than a lot of other skis you will ski. I use my T-Halls strictly for rails an such but find that the AR6 is my best ski on the mountain. So if you want that soft flex and an all around stable Armada ski you should go with the T-Hall.
