actually, k2s are cheap as hell casue they are made in china. i garentee you armada could not make a substancial profit selling their skis for that price. and the t halls are different from the ar5s. they are the same dimmensions, but instead of having a full angled sidewall, they turn 90 at the bingings, for better edge strength. plus they use a softer core. but again, what i said, the 4frnt stls have a very similar flex pattern and dimensions, are lighter, have a 2 year warrenty, are made with carbon fiber and have tons of pop, stronger edges and bases, and come in more sizes than the t halls, and for 100 less. I havent ridden t halls, and im shure they are fun skis, but there are definatly better skis for the same application (which will work for all mountain better too), that cost less. i am not a fan of armada, cause thier skis arnt any better than anything else on the market, but the prices are way higher. and yeah, 1080s are the WORST rip off, but i dont think anyone considers those serious skis anymore. and for anyone to say their prices are high casue they are new, thats bs, its cause they had to pay a huge manufacturing fee to have thier skis built. i think its kinda gay when a company comes out, and they dont even build thier own skis. there are plenty of new companies that build thier own stuff, and the name represents a the handmade quality of the skis. with armadas, you pay for a name, and ride a ski thats made in a factory with a Bizillion other skis. i would WAY rather support a company that builds thier own skis, like line (yes they build them, they just rented factory space from karhu) 4frnt, Ninthward, factions, liberties, ect. i know first hand how much goes into building skis, and i would way wather buy craftsmanship then an off the shelf product.
