Replying to 10/11 Armada Halo vs. 11/12 Armada Halo

Hey NS,

I want to pick up a pair of Armada Halos because I have done some research and found they are pretty much a great all around ski. I saw the graphic last year on the Armada Halo and fell in love, the whole lightstream of different colours and cool stuff like that. I saw this years Halo and just am not feeling the graphic, it's brown and boxy and I don't really like it.

So really I want to know if there are any major changes on the skis from last year and this year because I would really like to get the 10/11 but if the 11/12 is THAT much better I'll get those ones.

Also I'm not really interested in hearing any other ideas for skis for me because I really think I've done enough research to find that the Halo would be good for me. But if needed to suggest skis I'm:

- 6ft 1"

- 205 lbs.

- Not spending all my time in the park but would like to find a good ski to help me progress this year.

- Matching up with 2012 Salomon SPK Pro

- Hopefully matching up with 2012 Marker Griffon (Or what would you suggest)

- Just need a good ski for the park and to have fun on the hill, I have skis for powder.

Thanks alot NS!
