Blue steeles look pretty dope imo, thall are on the soft side, if you want something stiffer buy the ar7. Cant say much, i just tried the thall and the ar7 for 2 run each. Btw i prefer the thall beter than te ar7

Well the T-Hall is very soft, and the BS is medium to slightly stiff. So what do you like is the question, both are quality options.

a full camber ski is going to be much more stable in the park, cuz parks are groomed 95% of the time!  Having the full effective edge of the ski when carving off jumps makes a big difference.

Blue Steele is going to be much better quality. Bamboo core and hand made.

Thalls are soft and kill it on rails and jumps alike. Love mine.
I have heard the ar7s are stiffer than the thalls

Aramdas are made in Head's Austrian factory.  The best skis in the world come out of that factory, so i would not say that ON3P is better quality...

armada are made by atomic you idiot

on3p's have thicker edges, faster and thicker bases, stronger core material that will hold it's shape longer, and are hand made in the USA

on3p>armada

I have skied the shit out of both the thalls and the ar7s... They are exactly the same ski. I literally felt no difference at all. Don't pay 100 bucks more for the thalls or you will be a victim of armadas clever marketing

Yea because I'm sure you have ridden both extensively and didn't just read that off some website...I'm trying to save this guy some money. The skis ride exactly the same.

I have skid both.
I work at a shop and have spoken to the rep about it.
Maybe you are a shitty skier and were not skiing them hard enough to notice a difference but their certainly is on jumps especially.

I have ridden both and spoken to an evo rep who was sponsored by armada. He agreed with me. But you clearly know more about any of this stuff then he does because while you sit and jack off to ski websites other people actually ride the skis and give honest feedback on them.

Your post count sums you up pretty well. Try going outside more and not believing everything you read on the Internet. Yes you win biggest dumbass in this thread.

I am speaking from outside experience. I am a full time highschool student with a job who has ridden 50 days this year in Ontario wgere our season starts mid december. I honestly could nor be out any more.

Dont get offended just because you the only reason that you could not feel a difference in the skis is because of your inability to do what we all love.

You, my friend, are an idiot.

ON3Ps are better quality.  But THalls will still be durable.  Do you like a softer or stiffer ski, OP?

What are you 14 years old? You call me out as a shitty skier and don't have shit to back up anything you say. I have also skied alot more than you have this year but that doesn't really matter. Just because you got your mommy to buy you expensive skis doesn't mean we all can. I'm trying to help this guy out and you are bitching at my because I insulted your precious skis. So kindly go fuck yourself.

1. My mother does not pay for my skis.
2. You do not know what you are talking about. (If you did why would you make this thread asking about skis? https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/forums/readthread/thread_id/601062/ )
3. I dont even ride T halls anymore.
4. Fucking myself is not possible.
