Most park skis are 1800-2000g per ski in the longest size. Although this is a very rough estimate from what I have seen.
I have some Liberty Phil Larose Pros (LTEs) which I think are 1650g they feel ridiculously light. They are good but I find them to small and flexy for anything over 30ft and Im 6,2 150lbs and a basic park skier. My Anthems felt a lot more stable on bigger jumps (178 for both).
They are fun light skis and if light it was your going for then definitley check them out i just found the flex washed out a bit on larger jumps for my size. Although the LTE is supposedly stiffer underfoot and solves this. Super easy to spin stuff especially if your a weird gangley bean pole like me.

Cool!
I've heard some say that the halos takes time to getting used to becouse of the EST PARK ROCKER chamber but once u get the hang of it its epic? dno if thats fact or not but! now im leaning towards the THALL:)

I didn't find the park rocker took much getting used to, but then again I changed from a 110 waist ski to an 82 waist ski so i guess that was a bigger difference so that's what I noticed. I've skied both and prefer the Halos personally. I like that it doesn't catch on anything and makes butter initiation easier especially while the ski is new and hasn't softened up (i'm only light so they aren't THAT soft for me!) Both great skis though you can't really go wrong.

it's funny that you post the bitchiest thing ever, and then follow it by saying don't be a bitch
he wants a light park ski, it's a legitimate question. If you'd like to insult people for no reason and act like a high school drama queen please take a time machine back to 2003 and apply for the cast of mean girls

okey! That's good! Did you try them on urban? you see I'm trying to decide between the haloo and thalls, so im setting them up agianst each other when it comes to rails, jumps, playfullness, swing weight and urban game. It's sooo hard to choose! haha btw what's the waist difference on the halo and Thalls?

Rails is the most noticeable change between my fat skis and my halos. On the fatties you had to try to fall but on the halos i actually have to concentrate more especially after a switchup or spin on. The difference in waist between halos and thalls is about 5mm, i never noticed that difference. But from my skis it was 28mm and that you do notice!
In equal sizes, the halo will have less swingweight. They are equally playful and neither is the best ski for jumps but both work fine for me. It just depends if you want rocker or not really. I like it, not everyone does. Have you skied a rockered ski before?

thanks man!
5 mm in favor of the halos or the thall?
when you're talking about the equal size, are you talking about tha halo and tha thalls which the halo has less swingweight? or are we talking about your fat skis?
No havn't skied a rockered ski before? looks super fun tho! You recommend it or not?
becouse of the Thalls stiffness is it better to chred with on those icy days?

I was talking about T-hall vs Halo, ignore my fat skis.
The T-hall is 4mm wider than the Halo in the same size (underfoot). The Halo has lighter swingweight and is slightly stiffer, but just as buttery thanks to the rocker. Personally I prefer the way the halo skis over the t-hall in all conditions. I imagine t-halls will be better on ice though (i rarely see ice in switzerland) but the longer effective edge must help. That said, any ski you use one rails will suck on ice so its not really worth worrying about.
