Halos or alpha one sizing

[adamohurd]

I'm 5'10 and 185ish pounds.... looking into halos or alpha ones.... not sure what size would be better, currently riding armada el reys and theyre 178's... feel a little long/stiff. not sure if 176 in a soft ski like this would end up being too short. insight???

I'm looking for a ski thats more jibby but still holds up on jumps, like something soft so I was thinking halo or alpha one.

thanks homies

I'm fairly similar to you in height and weight and have ridden this years Halo 2's in a 182. They are super soft so I probably wouldn't go with anything shorter on them. The Alpha's you could probably go a size smaller and still be happy

damn I was gunna pick up 176 halos.

You're a heavier dude - definitely go for 182.

Alpha 1s are very stiff. Halo 2 will be fine on medium size jumps may be a little sketchy over 50 ft.
