Yo, this season I'm gonna be skiing park most days and there is a pair of used last years halos that have bindings for 350$ good deal?. Conditionis 9/10. I want a poppy, buttery playful ski. If I were to get them I would need to sell my 2011/12 atomic theory's which is my current ski. K+ for help. Peace

Those are what you want from skis if you're not a lightweight guy because halos are pretty stiff

But

I bought new ones without binding 350 this year but if those are in good condition(remember to check the edges) and have good bindings then i recommend them!

^I found Halos to be a pretty soft ski actually.

I demoed the halos at an indoor slop, so mainly rails and small jibs, but for that you can't go wrong with the halos. 9/10 skis and binders sounds like a great, I'd get on that if I were you.

Personally i think 350 is a tad high since last years probly goes new for around 400 now, maybe a bit more. but i'll vouch for the ski, its fun and it will do what you're hoping for.

I've ridden fair amount of armada-thall, ar7, alpha 1, arv, arg and of course the halo and I agree with the above, its not a stiff ski by my standards but its relative to what you're used to (I'm 6'2 150lbs and I ride 181s btw)

So they'd be worth selling my theory's?
