I am around 5'5" and around 115 pounds, I ride around 60% rails and 40% jumps, however I ski the ice coast so the jumps are not very big. Just wondering what you guys think my best choice of Armada ski would be and what size. BUMP +K
 
not at all, the alpha 1 has early rise and what armada calls "elf shoe tech". I love it because it distributes the swing weight very evenly and really makes you want to spin. Not to mention it's butter city baby!
 
if you want something with great edge hold, max pop, and butterability at ur weight I would go with the THall. If you want something with max butterability, less pop, and less edge hold, go with the Alpha 1. i wouldn't look at the AR7, as you weigh very little, and for you the THALL will do everything that you would buy the AR7 for just as well, and be much more butterable and playful.
 
I've tried thalls and alpha 1's both and didn't notice any difference in amount of pop. it's all in your legs if you didn't know that already...
 
Go with the Thall, on those icy days it is much harder to hold an edge with the alpha series skis and because you weigh less the Thall is much better for you then the AR7
 
So if I am 5'11'' and weigh 160 would ar7s be less ideal than thalls (pretty much same type of skier as this kid)
 
the Thall has the same dimensions and construction as the ar7, just a different flex pattern. If you like stiff skis go with the AR7, but IMO for more rails than jumps i would buy the THall
