I am 5' 7 about 130 lbs and i am trying to decide between the thalls and the ar7s. I ski park about 50/50 jumps and rails. Last year was my first year in park and im getting better so im looking for a good park ski. Any suggestions?

Did you read the in depth descriptions on Armadas website? Most of them even have a video. Not trying to be a dick, its just really helpful.

I'm about that size and I would say 171... depends on where you're mounting of course. with a center mount, I prefer top of my head, and thats about where the 171s are on me... still plenty long imo

Well the ar7 are a little stiffer than the t-halls. the ar7 was suggested by some pros. also a good comparison to the ar7 is the 4frnt msp. both have sick designs

this right here.

the thall and the ar7 are very similar skis. same company (obvously), same construction (or very very silmilar), same dimensions, similar flex, etc.

if you plan on buying a ski that you will ski exclusively in the park, buy the t-hall. if you plan on buying a ski that you will ski in the park, but will also ski it all over the mountain, buy the ar7.

don't worry about stiffness and all that mumbo jumbo (i just said mumbo jumbo lawl) just follow this simple guide and decide (if this is your only ski) whether you plan on skiing all park (or like 90% park, 10% all mountain or more) or if you plan on skiing park and all mountain.

understand?
