Any comments on the armada ar7's? I'm looking to get a new pair and I was leaning towards them. I ski all mountain and park.

they are stiff enough to be a good all mountain ski, but it also depends on how much you weigh. if you are lighter, t hall might be a better flex. also ar7 is more of a jump ski with an even flex, where the t hall is more of a jib ski with a slightly softer tip and tail.

Thanks dude. I weigh around 195 and do you know if the recommended center is at core center for the ar7's?

good first post.

I love the ar7 i mounted miine at center and they are great for freeriding and also shred the park. the flex is awesome stiff under foot and soft in the tip and tails. mine are still pretty new and in the break in stage so it does take awhile to be able to use the nice flex that the ar7 has.

They are park skis, so... you got your answer.

Well it depends where you mount them. Center mounted skis won't preform as well as -2.5cm back skis.

well actually im like 130 and i think the ar7s are super flexible but thats probably cause i ski very aggressive and i was using a very still dynastar ski before i switched over this season
