Hey guys,

one is for backcountry and powder,

another is for park and riding.

someone says, Halo is a mini JJ (have rocker and 5 dimension)

so the feeling is very simliar.

is it right?

is their role overlap!?!?!?!??!

it is true, then, recommend to me, other park ski!

thnx a lot guys

I'm also wanting to know as much info I can get about the Halo. I dont think its gonna be like a mini jj. The flex should be different and its not gonna have a crazy early rise tip and tail but enough to do the job for the park.

I took the halos out sunday at whistler.

They took a couple laps to get used to. But actually are alot of fun.. At first wasn't to comfertable spinning on them but after like 3 runs they became alot of fun. Swing weight is really nice on them.

Talking to the armada rep he says they advise not to mount centre... but 2 back from centre. Due to the contact area.

They make for a fun riding ski just because they are so easy. Even riding groomers at speed they didnt feel to unstable.

I won't be rushing out to buy them. But they were a pretty cool ski.

While the sidewall and rocker is very similar in construction, however, the Halo is more durable, stiffer, thinner, and have a tighter turning radius. I also believe the rocker is much less. You'd be fine with both, the JJs will kill the pow and the Halos will kill the park, but they'll feel pretty similar so switching back and forth will be really easy. I think it's a pretty solid quiver for sure.
