These are actually pretty dope in pow. The rocker helps keep your tips up despite how skinny they look compared to pow specific skis. These can be tricky to ski on if you're a beginner. They feel pretty 'loose' and you have to pay a bit more attention to your balance and stance compared to a traditional cambered ski. Otherwise you may find your self washing out of turns or stumbling at higher speeds.

Well the problem with a ski like the halo is it is specifically designed for park, and urban. I'm guessing this ski would be great for groomers but suck in POW. if you want a more versatile ski I would look at the Armada AR7. Unless you intend on only skiing park I wouldn't get the halo.... although I have to admit they have sick graphics.
