Hi! I have seen many thread about Ar7 or thall. But im not sure yet!
I ride alot of park and rails, but also a bit pow. This seseaon im going to improve my skills on rails and jump, but also learn new tricks into pow.

Im riding park for about 69,5% of the time and pow 30,5%.
I'm gonna have look pivot binding and salomon spk boots.
So what ski do you think i should have?

thall is more park specific. i would recommedn ar7 for you since you will be in powder 30% of the time.

Out of curiosity, why did you choose arbitrary numbers like 60.5?

But, I don't really think either is going to perform way better than the other in powder. The Ar7 is going to be a little stiffer, therefore it will hold up a little bit more as far as big jumps and all-mountain riding... but the T-Hall is still going to perform amazingly.

I've owned a pair of Ar6s, and currently ski T-Halls. In the end, it's going to come down to personal preference. Although each one is a little bit different, it's not going to be as noticeable as comparing one of these and just about any other ski.

For "30.5"% powder, you might want something a little more all-mountain specific.  I'd recommend Jmos, ARVs, El Reys, Kung Fujas, Line Blends.  Pretty much anything between 92 and 102 mm underfoot.  Do you want a softer or stiffer ski?

agreed, the blends and arvs would be solid here or even a liberty morphic
