So I'm looking for a park ski this year. My local shop has 20% off all 2011 skis, but they only stock Armada. So my choices are Pipe Cleaner, T-Hall, and AR7.

I'm 5' 11'' and 170 lbs

I'm looking for a ski I can butter, but won't get super chatter at high speeds. I spend about 60% of the time in the park, mostly rails and 30-40 ft jumps. All east coast skiing. whichever ski I get will either be the 176 or 181 length. My last ski was the '07 J.O. Pros 178. They were sick, but I'm looking for something softer and more playful. Thanks for your help.
 
You want the t-halls based on your description. Softest of the three, but still plenty of beef to hit kickers with.
 
t-halls. i have the 2010 ones and i love them. really good for what you want based on your description. i ski east coast too and they hold a really good edge when it gets real slickvout there. fantastic park ski, you can basically do what ever you want on them. im a big rail guy and they are excellent on rails and boxes. its strong and soft, i havent found myself washing out much...so def get them they are nice!
 
^ that's not true, the Pipe Cleaner has the different base. Both the AR7 and THall have the same base made for rails. That wouldn't make any sense anyways as the THall is clearly the "rail" ski in Armadas line.
 
I went with the 176. They are about an inch shorter than I am. My shop didn't stock the 181 so I don't know how much bigger it would be.
 
Which one should I select?

Im 5'8 and 125 lbs

I ski mostly park (70% rails, 30% jumps between 15ft and 40ft)

Very rarely powder

Thanks!

 
HALO and ALPHA are sick ski, they are different.. but if you want something more normal go with any pair of armada, they are all good ... (sorry for my english)
 
No,, I mean alpha 1 and halo are differente from the other ski.. they are kinda rocker. But I ski with the 2010 alpha 1 and they are great!
