Surface No Times VS Armada Halo

I guess what I'm searching for is the major dfifferences between these skis. Is one going to do something better than the other? I.e: jumps/rails/butters

I know the Halo has the elf shoe tech, which theoretically makes the swing weight less,
but does the No Time have a similar technology?

They both have rocker, which I like the concept of for playing around in the park. Is one's rocker more pronounced than the other's? I would obviously be going for a 182 in either. I am 5'10" and ski fairly mildly. Biggest jump i would ever hit is ~50ft.

Does one weigh more than the other? Which seem to be more durable from people who have ridden both (long shot, I know)?

The skis in question:

no times are alot softer, lighter, and lower swing weight, halo is probably better quality, i love my no times, i have never tried halos though

Personally, i have tried my friend's halos and they are sick. swing weight is great imo. The surface's might fall apart, they have a bad rep of terrible durability. Personally, i would go halos and have them last you a lot longer. Plus, if you are worried about swing weight, you will get used to them eventually.

If you ride rails at all, get the halos a hundred times over, I've ridden mine for a season on almost all rails and they're still in decent shape. The side cut makes carving a little word at first, but you get used to it

Also, after breaking my no times, I purchased T-halls even though I wanted Halos. The T-halls are the most amazing ski I have ever ridden, so im sure the halo will perform equally. GET THE HALO

Definitely get the Halo's. Ive had mine for two years and thet have held up great. They do ski a bit short and are fine on 50ish ft jumps and super fun on rails. Halos all the WAy
