Go get new boots if you are getting shin bang. Boots matter way more than skis when it comes to it. Idk if skis really matter at all?

is there a demo day at your home mountain where you could try out some skis? (at least the Armadas, I doubt they would have Faty-pus)

I've never ridden Fat-ypus skis before, but I do know that Halo 2's and Al Dentes are both insanely buttery skis. If price doesn't matter to you, the question to ask yourself would be do I want the wider ski (Al Dente) or the skinnier ski (Halo 2). Other than that I think the rocker and camber between the two are pretty similar. Both are durable as well, have friends that rock both of them and they love them.

For the halo 2 if u get them mount them dead center no matter what the recommendation is I hated mine at -2.5 and got them readjusted and love them at dead center and for the al dente mount them at either -1 (what henrik harlaut has them at) or -1.5 since the have so much nose rocker

Dude I've been riding them all season. And in comparison, the Halo 2 and Al Dentes aren't that stiff. Go get domains if you want to butter and have a soft flex ski.
