Hey all,

I have been shredding my 2006 rossi scratch FS for the last 5 years and they are have acually had it... so im in the market for a new pair of skis, after extensive research I have narrowed my search down to a few skis... Armada halo, Armada T-hall, on-3p blue steele and line abangs.

I already have a dailey driver allmountain twin so I am looking for a pure park ski, something that will allow me to butter, press, jib and jump (anything upto 45ft).

I understand that these questions come up alot so appologies in advance

Im 5 9, 155 pounds and love long walks on the beach (jks)
 
may i suggest ninthward henrik pro's, they are by far the sickest ski i have ever ridden on and they are at a unreal price. they are medium stiffness, perfect for smooth butter and really stable for bigger jumps, and they kill on rails. worth taking a look into.
 
i recommend the ar7 can handle large jumps and still throw down on rails, stiff yet has enough flex to butter, and press
 
Thanks heaps for all your replys and cheers for the suggestion on the ninthward henrik pro's, will look into that.

I already have a stiffish all mountain ski (chronic kryps)... im from Australia and dont need anything for power so thats my kinda 1 ski quiver, I was just looking for a pure park ski that I can use when im being a park rat to do butters and preferably pretty light aswell because I would really like to work on my rails (switch ups and 270s on / off ect)

The halos sounded good from what I heave read so far although I am a little skeptical about having the rocker in the park (never tried before) and am I little worried about their stability when landing jumps, has anyone had experience with the halos or any opinion at all?

I agree the ar7 sounds like a sick ski its just I feel I would be overlapping abit with my chronics

thanks again guys

 
if its a 100% park ski then i'd get something symmetrical.. cos you'll probably be centre mounting? i don't really jump much, i either ski sidecountry/backcountry or if there's really no snow i hit rails and boxes and just jib around.. but i have skied lots of different park skis and so i can comment a bit.. for all around park skiing i'd get Moment Jibs/Rockers or Volkl Walls. I've also ridden Alpha 1s, T-Halls and Abangs so I can comment on them.

Alpha 1s - Stable, good on groomers, not bad for spinning on and off, dont catch and edge on the snow too easily cos of the rocker.

T-Halls - The ones i had were an older version, they were soft and a bit noodly. New ones are apparently stiffer but I can't see why you'd pay more for these over the AR6(7).

Abang - No denying these are a pricepoint ski.. Bases are pretty slow and they don't turn very nicely.. flex is medium with butterzones but i wouldn't pay for them..

Volkl Walls - Ski super well on groomed for a symmetrical ski, medium flex, i could butter but it was hard work (i'm really light).. these are basically the perfect park ski.

Moment Jibs - The ones I had were super stiff (07-08) but they've softened them a lot now.

Also carved brilliantly (mine didn't after i detuned the edges but they were a great ski). Very similar to the walls but lighter.

Moment Rockers - I had the originals and they've changed them.. but they were basically a slightly wider, buttery version of the Jibs.. They've reduced the rocker since i had them but this should just make them more stable on landings.. these would be my first choice.
 
k2 domains... from the videos ive seen they seem to hold up good on large jumps and the rocker makes it playful
