So I've looked online for last years Halo's and the alpha 2's from 2 years ago and can't find them anywhere. I'm wondering if anyone sells them or are they all gone because its old gear? Also looking for last years full tilt booters but I can buy this years if necessary.

Thanks guys! +K for help

alpha 2s are not made anymore, and if your talking about 09/10 Halos they dont exist, only 10/11

You will be able to findsome halos on here but you most likely not see any alpha 2s

Finding old skis new may be tough. Most decent shops will sell out so it will be a case of trying to find a tiny shop that happens to have a pair left. Maybe try ebay, that tends to be good for older Kit. Dont buy boots online ever, go get them fitted.

Yeah I made the mistake of buying boots online last year and it was a bad season for my feet so I'll definitely be getting them fitted at my local shop. Ebay and amazon don't have any alpha 2's but they do have alpha 1's.
Another question I have is how the 2 compare for park? These skis will be used for park only ans I need to know if they can handle abuse because I'm pretty hard on my skis

the alpha 2s and halos have different flexes so you know. if you want flexy butteryness you want 9/10 alpha 1s and 10/11 halos. you want slightly stiffer for jumps you want 9/10 alpha 2s and 10/11 alpha 1s. they switched the flexes around so pay attention to that. these models we part of armadas ltd (limited series) so they will be hard to find. id just look on ns for what you want one is bound to turn up i believe one kid was sellin slightly jump used halos in 182 just searchbar and you just might find em
