Im ordering some skis for Windells, Session 6. Ive been looking around for a while, all my other skis are absolutly shot; im not flying to Oregon with delamed Chronics or broken Tahoes. I was looking around and I really dont mind the Armada Tanner Halls. I also really like the K2 Extremes and the Scott P3's. Im really looking for just a good park ski that are good for carving off lips, hitting rails, and have some good pop. The Extremes seem heavier and I havent heard a thing on Tanner Halls. Which one would you guys recomend or is there something else I should be looking at? Thanks!
 
I really dont mind the graphics on the Thalls and they seem really good for the park. There the cheapest too. I heard the K2 Extremes are really not good for just the pure park. I want a ski that would really help me progress the most.
 
I think the extreme is a good park ski, but its a little to stiff for me. if u like em poppy then dont buy them. i juse them when im going big, thats whats they are ment for. its a boring ski to play with.
 
If they THalls are the cheapest then get them, who cares about graphics, they kill rails and since they redid the flex points and butter zones they're much more stable off jumps. Think about, you're probably going to trash these skis at Windells (hot rails, big jumps, and the desire to learn new tricks and impress people/pros - none of these things very good on the life of a ski) so why waste the money, go with the cheaper ones.
 
True the THalls sound really nice I'll most likely end up doing them. Are they fairly soft? Maybe compare them to another ski thats smililar. But dont Armadas have problems de-laming? Im gunna use them at Windells and hopefully most of next season

-Thanks!
 
nope armadas have top notch durability. and yes they have fairly soft tips and tails but the still work fine for big jumps.
 
Then perfect! Thanks so much for the help. Im a bigger guy too so I need somewhat of a stiff ski but I like the responsive tips and tails for buttering, popping, and more control off takeoffs. I think they look really sick, but i havent really heard anything about them at all, no one really rides them it seems. But hey thats good too! Thanks!
 
If you're flying into PDX and wanna see a ski factory, you should shoot me an email. We've got demo's to lend too...
 
Alright for sure, I actually read some reviews on the Surface and I guess the topsheets absolutly suck. Again, nothing bad about the Armadas Yet!
 
For sure!

Im also looking for a pair for next year as well. Now I found LibTech NAS Park Alpine Skis in 181 for a really good deal and I've been liking these for a while they seem really sick. Ya ON3P look really sick too! How are LibTechs, I've seen like two people with them.
 
I should have made a thread call THall vs. Every other ski on the market. LibTechs seem really expensive, and im a more built kid so a stiffer ski might benefit. But im not hitting massive jumps all day so to have a more flexy ski would be sick too i love buttering and popping onto rails and having a good time as well. I would enjoy a more responsive ski. I love carving off of lips and just buttering all day as well so rails. The Tanner's seem to fit tight in my catagory!
 
libtech are heavy and expensive, get the thalls. you seem pretty set on those.

and demo some on3p's for sure. if i was offered that, i would take the chance in a heartbeat to try the jeronimos
