dude i live down here in chile and i know some of the people in this site have allready skied some of those skis that's why i'm asking, and i don't have the chance to buy a ski for less than 700 or 800 hundred dollars so i could use some help before making the buy,so you could help or just shut the fuck up and don't write anything

I'd go for some AR6's, or possibly Seths if you want K2's.

I've seen some beat to shit T-Halls and have never seen any delam. I personally have a pair and I love them but I cannot really comment on how well they take abuse since I only got to use them around 15-20 times last season but considering I did ski them hard, there's not much to show for it on the skis.

Entonces comprate unos T-Hall o AR6, cachai? venden armada en Chile o los teni que comprar en Estados Unidos y mandarlos a Chile?

Ninthward, no question about it. They'll never send the skis and you'll never realize you spent $500 on nothing, its a win-win situation sort of. Support the industry!

yo he usado los dos, tenia unos 05 AR5s y ahora ando en los T-Hall. como estai en Chile creo que vas a estar mejor con los AR6. vas a estar mas tiempo andando sobre otras partes de la montania entonces creo que los AR6 seran mejores para ti. todavia vas a poder usarlos AR6 en el parque pero es una lata llevar los T-Hall en cualquier lugar afuera del parque.

si quieres un par de esquis solo para parque, comprate los t-hall son mejores para eso. si quieres un esqui que puedes llevar adonde quiera, comprate los AR6. lo mejor seria si te compras un par de t-hall solo para parque y unos JP vs. Julien para todo afuera del parque.

My appologies for my sarcasm. I just saw this thread and it really looked liek you were asking which brand would be the "cool" one to get, with the fact that you didn't specify any models. BUT ANYWAYS, I've never really known anyone with K2 problems, and i think the addict's look siiiick, but people talk about how they chip easy. But I think you should be good with any choice.

if you have the money,go with armadas.if not go with k2.but if you have the money for armadas,still consider some k2s cuz they are just as good,only cheaper.
