Hey guys im from the east coast and i enjoy going in the park, but when theres snow im definitely elsewhere. Do you guys recommend the AR7 or Thall? I already have the ARV and find that its just too wide for the east coast and not good enough in the park for the trade off. Im somewhat married to armada but im open to other suggestions.

I asked the same question like last week and from the answers i got , i can thelp you a little i think, the AR7 is more stiff than the T-hall whick is more smooth and poppy , more specs like height weight ect. would help people to give you better answers for sure ,

im like 6'2" 210 lbs. i mean i like to be playful but i want a ski that can handle steeps and glades. another question id ask is which is the more nimble of the two skis because of the narrowly spaced trees out here.

the t hall has a more advanced flex patter, so in my opinion they are a better park ski... thats why they are more expensive, the ar still a good ski but the t hall performs the same on groomers and big kickers but with the crazy stuff going on the rails and urban setups thats where you notice the difference

^this

And they perform as good as a park ski gets on grooomers ...but it is a PARK ski so obviously your not going to be getting exactly what you want out of this ski if you dont ski Park alot...

sorry to kinda open this up again guys, but I just saw the alpha 1 this year and was intrigued by it, anybody know anything about them? I assume the thalls gonna be the best in the park but i ride enough all mtn where if the alpha 1 is gonna be significantly better outside the park and not be significantly worth inside it then i feel that might be the better choice

Alpha 1 is a rockered ski, has "elf-shoe" technology. It's light and fast, great ski. Will definitely ski differently than the thall, but its a great ski. You should look into it.

How's it's stiffness? Better for jumps or rails?
