so im stuck between buying the (armada) t-halls or alpha 1, im seriously leaning towards the alpha 1, but i cant find one single review on them. anyone out there got an opinion? and what is the price difference between the t-hall and the alpha? any help would be greatly appreciated.

alphas are like 100 more. i would get t-halls until some real reviews come out

alpha one has mad rev sidecut not entirely sure why though, similar to the donner party/arg, but not a pow ski, so why? mad soft too, thats why there will be an alpha 2 (cough cough) next yr.

im surprised that we dont have another ski lawsuit on our hands. hummer used the term "alpha 1" on the H1 when they were making them. i wouldnt buy them though, just seems like a pointless ski

its not reverse sidecut its "elf shoe" its a traditional sidecut per say but it starts curving back in for the tips much sooner, it suposedly makes pow skiing better, it seems like its designed to be basically ur 1 ski park quiver, like jumps and bc booters, ive heard theyre soft which would make them nice for buttering, id personally try them

yeah they're pretty soft in the tip and tail, and reverse sidecut, so butters would be really fun on them. look like a fun ski
