yeah, this years STLs are alot stiffer than last seasons, (especially in the tails). WAY WAY better all mountain ski than last years, and WAY nicer off jumps. at the same time, its slightly more difficult to cank big tail butters around. the T halls are not nearly as good all mountain, and also are more jib specific. so pretty much, if all your doin is rails and jibs, go tanners. if you wanna ski the whole park plus everything to and from, DEFINATLY STLs. id seriously reccomend those skis, as ive been incredibly stoked on mine. plus, they are cheaper.
