i decied to get new skis and i love armadas skis! they awesome in my opionin!

i cant decied to get the t-halls ar7 or the halos! i know there all great skis but its a hard choice!

If anyone has these skis are rode them please let me know how the ski is!

i like a buttery ski but i dont mind having a stiffer ski like the ar7...

Alright here is how I see it:

Halo- are you doing alot of rails? Do you like to do surface swaps? do you like doing butters? Arent going to hit many 60 + ft jumps? Get Halos

Ar7 - are you going to stomp really big jumps? are you going to need a ton of pop? are you more aggressive on rails? Do you stomp hard when landing switch? (fyi not so good for buttering)

T-Hall - Do you like traditional camber? Want a buttery ski? Do you jump 40fts quite a bit? need the extra pop a little? like doing nollies?

Ive tried all the above skis, and currently own the t-hall, halos are a super fun ski, and ar7s are awesome on big features, really stable.

thats my two cents.

Ok so which one do you recommend to me ? I am a aggressive rail skier!! I mostly do rails... I love jumps as well but biggest is prob 35 to 40 footers at local small mountain ! How are the t-halls on rails? I like to butter to but not crazy... How did the halos perform for you ! It's ethier between the t-halls or the Halos!!!

I've had halos and ar6s, they are both super fun and you can't go wrong. Personally I like my halos a tad better because of the rocker and insanely light swing weight. Also they are buttery as hell which is nice.

When it comes to the T-halls and the Halos, you just have to pick straws between those. Both are so fun on rails, and jumps! Halo is kinda a little better for rails, T-Halls are a little better on jumps.

from there on I cant help you buddy, its just about picking one of the two.

Have you ever ridden a park ski with early rise tips and tails? I suggest you do it first before you even consider the Halos. Tried my friends alphas when he first got them and they just werent for me. I prefer a big stiff traditional camber ski. I've owned multiple T-halls, pipe cleaners and AR series skis and my favourite so far is the new AR7's. I also went up a couple sizes in em too so maybe thats why but yea... my 2 cents

oh the flex is dope! is pretty nice and popy and you can butter that thing for sure! ive hit 60ft park booters with them this winter, and they handel quite well as long as you arent too far back on the ski.

do you like having a ski without any rocker in it! everyone says that rockered skis are much more playful and everything but the ar7 and thalls both dont have rocker! and that's some of there most popular skis!
is the rocker nesscary or are the t-halls just as playful

I have ar7's and they are not as buttery as I would like, they are durable and have not failed me yet. I do want something more flexible though. So I am in the same boat as you. I think I am going with Thalls next season.
