I need new skis for next season and i was checking out Armada's and it's come down between ar7's and t-halls
I'm 5'9 and 120 pounds and i ride jumps and rails equally so i'm just looking for opinions!
Thanks

Get the thall. Especially since your 120 pounds and your staying in the park mostly. The thall is a pretty buttery ski

they are the same ski the only difference is the flex pattern. considering how much you weigh i would get the t hall as it is the softer ski.

Get the Thalls.

Just because of your weight you will benefit from the softer ski regardless of how big the jumps that you are hitting are.

They have it in a 176, should probably jump on it, as it's probably the best deal you will find.

To the OP, get the Thall because of your weight. They will be more easy to butter than the AR7.

AR7 will feel more stable for you. The THalls will most likely feel a little soft but the AR7s will be perfect. Cheaper too
