Armada THall vs Al dente

i read your other thread and was gonna suggest the t hall since you said you wanted a flexy, traditional armada park ski

but if youre really into ARVs (which i feel ya on, love that ski) i don't think youre gonna have much problem with the al dente-- it's the same shape, just has some nose rocker and i guess the flex is a little different but it can't be that much different..

either way you can't go wrong man those are two super well liked park skis

thanks man im not sure which one ill go for because they both seem like they are really good park skis!

yeah well look at the bright side, tough decision but youre gonna be hyped either way you go

also reading over my last post, im not positive that the flex is any different on the al dente vs the ARV. so maybe someone can offer input on that

but id say if youre between the two, an easy way to make the decision would be to decide what waist width you want, mid 80s or upper 90s? personally i prefer the upper 90s, and im guessing you might too if you are such an ARV fan. if this is gonna be your main ski as opposed to just a park ski, that upper 90s waist will be nice on softer days

also, my favorite tie breaker: price! see what you can find the better deal on

oh and one more thing, you mentioned that the nose rocker might be off putting to you on the al dente.. i really don't think that would make a problem for you. hell, my ARVs had nose rocker just from wear and tear...

actually the flex pattern of the arv and the THall are the same in tip and tail 5 in tip 6 in the tail the only thing thats different is the flex underfoot in the arv its a 7 and in the THall its an 8 the al dente is the same as the arv just one step down in the flex rating and the rocker nose.

Tanners if your spending most of your time in the park, otherwise Al Dente hands down. I have a pair and they slay all over the mountain.
