2011 SFB vs. 2011 Blend

[410steeze]

-5'10, 155-live on the east with 2-3 week+ trips out west-when at home: 80% park/ 20% mountain-when out west: 30% park/ 70% mountain
i was originally all for the SFB's and still am but does anyone know anything about next years blends? i never got any info on those really. if someone has ridden both and can compare thatd be great.
thanksMax B

The new blends now have an early rise in the tip and tail which will help alot in the powder. Also since the blend is 100 underfoot it is fat enough for powder but will still handle the park well. The SFB's will be great in the powder of course but not as good in the park. I would go for the Blends cause they sound like the perfect balance of pow and park.

anyone know how they carve? aparently next years SFB's rail like no other fat ski, are the blends like that?

I think blends might be my park/everyday ski for the coming year.

I'm pretty sure that the blends have more sidecut so they probably would carve better...but ive also heard the same about the new SFB's

blends will be better for you because you spend the you majority of your time on the east skiing park.

blends seem like a good choice, they softened them up as well as added early rise, which is good because they used to be too stiff for me. so they could be a really sick ski next year. though the SFB would be a sweet park ski too, just not quite as versitile.
