I'm looking at the 2013/14 thalls and I'm wondering if it'll do what I want it to. Which is nose and tail press with ease, as well as butter, Really poppy, I'm almost doing all rails but there's still the occasional 360 with a grab, when I do hit jumps there no bigger than 50 feet. And I want a pretty light ski, with a low swing weight, and do a lot of nollies. Are thalls the ski for me? If not give me a ski that fits my criteria. Thanks

T-halls are poppy and not heavy, great for ollies, nollies and stuff and you can press and butter them but it would take effort, the ski is medium stiff.

Damn bro chill out a little. Besides calling me gay as an insult only perpetuates the stereotype that people from Montana are back road, sister fucken, ass clowns.

Rail game is fantastic. I have a pair t-halls and they're my favorite park ski I have ever had. I would definitely recommend them to you. I wouldn't get the al dentes with their thin edge and width (I don't like wide skis on rails) if you are skiing rails all day.

Don't get the dentes. They're not at all durable, you're paying for a name basically. The edge is super small and thin. If you're hitting mainly rails the edge will be destroyed super quickly. If what you want is a wider ski like the dentes, go for a pair of blends or soul riders.

They're really light and poppy but they don't butter as well as I thought they would. It takes some effort to get up there but they are still my favorite rail ski I've had

That's what I'm on right now. They're a good ski, buttery but not overly buttery. I haven't had any issues durability wise either.

Rail game? And are they easy to press? When I handflexed them they seemed pretty soft

I haven't had any issues with swing weight. Swups are quick and 50/50s are pretty easy with the wider ski. The skis are a good combo of soft but not too soft

I wasnt impressed by how lively they were. NOT much pop at all either. Other than that they were pretty good

Armada makes some of the best skis performance wise but when it comes to durability in the tip and tail it's just not there due to the half cap half sidewall construction. I'm going to assume you hit mostly rails and therefor a wider ski would be good. I'm currently riding the halo 2's and they're the best ski I've ever rode (performance wise). Go for something similar to the al Dente or Halo 2 in width and you should be golden.
