These skis will be used specifically for the park (Groomers once in a while) and I would expect them to be able to handle big jumps without washing out but also be light responsive on rails (All around park ski). The only Armada's I have ever skied on are the JJ's so I don't really have a preference. I am having trouble choosing between the Halo's, AR7's, T Hall's or Alpha 1s. I know a good deal about each ski but really just want some personal recommendations to help me make a decision. Thanks, if you need any more info hit me up.
 
I'm trying to make the same decision right now. Got JJ's + T-Halls right now but the t-halls are going to be retired.

All i can tell you is that all of those ski's will do everything you want from them.

If you want rocker, go halo if youre a lighter guy, alpha 1 if your a big dude. Same dimensions just stiffer.

If you're not sold on 'park rocker' then T-halls are the softer buttery ski, AR7's are more solid
 
Thanks for the help so far I am for sure getting Armadas I have pretty much tried everything else. I weigh 185 so I want a stable ski that's playful when I need it to be. There are so many selections with Armada which is why it's so troubling for me to pick one ski. Keep the recommendations coming guys. Thanks.
 
So I guess its between the Alpha 1's and AR7's considering I weigh 185? I have a pair of old surfaces that are very soft that I can still bum around on but like I said I still want the new pair to be playful on rails. Opinions?
 
I mean it depends but as big a public jumps get so 60 ish? I will be skiing these in parks on the east which have big jumps and on the west west coast.
 
hey i'm trying decide between these exact skis too and don't. I'm 5'4 and weigh about 120lbs. Basically want everything you do.
 
im gonna go with anything but the alpha 1s based on original post. just cause you said you didnt wanna wash out a lot and i tended to wash out a lot on the alpha 1s
 
Alpha 1s or pipe cleaners. Race base for the win. Alpha 1s would probably be my first call though, because they'll have a light swing weight due to the taper, be fun on rails and for buttering from the rocker, but still hold up on bigger jumps with the race
 
Damn iPhone. As I was saying, it'll still hold up on big jumps with the race base and stiffer flex.
