Im looking for a park ski that will shred the pow but still performs really well on rails. the t halls and the alpha1 look pretty sweet but will these work in the pow? Or are there any other skiis like these two that will be better in the pow? thanks

I have some rossignol S3's that are pretty sweet for both. The have camber underfoot, and a bunch-o-early rise in tip+tail. Really solid on jumps and hard to catch an edge when you land a little sideways. The 98 underfoot makes them pretty rad in a little pow. I also was doubtful about rails when I got them, but I saw some rail jam contest update on newschoolers (here...) and the second place guy was wearing them, and I knowwww I know it could be his mad skillz but they must not be terrible, and it turns out that they are dece.

Do not get the T-hall as an all montain ski, Its terrible in powder and does not carve to well. Its great in the park but no fun out of it. Simply the flex is far to soft, on hardpack the ski just bends in half when carved hard. In powder its just not much fun at all. I would look at the AR7 or ARV if you want an armada all mountain ski.

Other skis that are good for what you want are the salomon 2012, the K2 kung fugas or as said before line blend can be good. Even my suspects are better all mountain skis then my T-halls but not as good as the others I mentioned.
