alright guys i know this is the 100 time making the thread but i am not getting the answers i need to pick which ski i want!

i am a big rails skier and i love jumps aswell but its such a hard choice!
i cant decide to get this years t-halls or this years halos! and i dont know if i want the rocker! does it make a huge difference!

i want a ski that's kinda buttery but still good on jumps but i also want a ski that kills it on the jibs and rails because that's the main thing i do!
I can get both skis for cheap and im gonna be mounting look pivot 14 or FKS 140s on them and i am getting the ski in size 176... i just want to pick the correct ski for me


i really need your help on this guys! +kkk to help answers

Iv heard all good things about the thalls, and mostly good things about the halo, so i think u would do well with either if not the thall by a lil bit

Both are awesome skis, from what I've heard i would get the Thalls. They are supposed to be fairly buttery, i would get them if i could!

nope. Halos are more noodley than k2s it is how they are supposed to be. Alpha 1s are stiff as fuck and look exactly like halos

Both skis will be great.  If you can get a better deal on the THalls by all means get them.  But I'd have to recommend the Halos.  I love mine.  Ever since I got rockered skis I haven't gone back to camber.  I could feel the reduced swing weight and buttering ability even with my shitty 360's and little butters onto boxes.  I'd say the Halos have a pretty medium flex.  And even though Armada claims they're the most "park" of their skis, I have slayed all mountain with mine and they worked great.  Give them a try to see what you think of rocker.  I guess in the worst case you could sell them and get THalls next year.  But I think you'll really like em, haven't met anyone who didn't.

i think im just gonna go with the thalls! i haven't heard one bad thing about them ever so that's a good thing! i like the halos a lot but i feel like thall is the better ski for me and its gonna be more stable at jumps because i am trying to get better on jumps.. and there gonna be amazing for rails and jibs because there also buttery!

Excellent choice, enjoy them.  All of Armadas skis are dope.

if you want rocker and a little stiffer ski than the halo the alpha is nice
