I haven't gotten the chance to ride them, but everyone that i've talked to about them say they absolutely LOVE them...Super light and poppy and with the new AR-50 sidewall it reduces the swing weight and let's you spin even faster....As for the base they should be exactly what you want...All Armada's have pretty fast bases...

Armada got some of the most solid skis on the market. Think its a good investment no matter what Armada skis you buy. Still, I believe the T-Hall model is a win, heard lots of great things about 'em

I never demoed them, but at Windells everyone who demoed them said they were absolutely perfect. Poppy, stiff, light, loveable

They're amazing. Real light, great swing weight, really poppy, good edge hold, stiff under foot, buttery in tips and tails.

get them. now.

How do you think the T-Hall will be on groomers and generally just outside the park?  My brother is trying to decide between the T-Hall and the AR7.  Said he wants a softer ski so he can play around more with the ski and butter stuff since he's pretty light, but he only skis about 50% of the time in the park, so he needs the ski to still be pretty stable on the rest of the hill.

in my opinion yes just lean back a bit more than you would on your pow skis not much but a bit and they are sex but thats my opinion others on NS who most likely do not have them will disagree

I have been riding the thalls this season, for a soft park ski they are great, but out of the park they do suck. There too soft to get any real edge grip and they are just terrible in powder. If you just want a park ski get them, but if you want a ski that you can actually ski then the ar7 may be a better option.

2011-present are the new design with the AR-50 construction. I absolutely love mine and will be on them next season. Usually my skis are borderline unrideable after a season and my T-halls held up very well. Aside from a few edge cracks (which are inevitable on the east coast, and none are pulling out) they have held up better than any other twins that I have owned. Out of the park they aren't that bad. If you are a fundamentally good skier you can carve them no problem. Powder they weren't great but no worse than any other center mounted park ski. Love them alot and definitely recommend them.
