Do NOT get T-Halls if you ski pipe....why would you want a ski as soft as that for pipe? That's why Armada makes the pipe cleaner.
Butter points right in front and behind your binding? No, it's better for the ski to flex more traditionally underfoot (and close to underfoot). You want a "buttery" ski to have predictable flex in the places where you need to hold edges, and to be soft closer to tip and tail for pressing, buttering, blahblah.
No hate buddy, because it's cool to take time to offer advice, but man, you're off on this one.
