Atomic Blogs for an all around ski?

Haven't heard much about these...

I ski a lot of park but I also want a ski that will hold well in deeper stuff... I ski mostly midwest man-made hardpack with a couple trips out west every year. What's swing weight like? Are they on the heavy side?

How will these hold in the park? I probably wont be hitting many rails with them as I have dedicated beater skis for that. I'm mostly curious to hear if anyone rides these in the midwest and if they're any good or will be super shitty on midwest snow.

 
They are pretty solid on groomed, carve nicely, pretty poppy and the swingweight isn't bad for a bigger ski. Flex pattern didn't feel ideal in the park though. I prefer the Line SFB for pretty much every condition except deep days.
 
If you like your tips flapping and chattering on hard/groomed snow....then they are fucking rad.

There are better ski's out there in that category. And I love Atomic.
 
Any recommendations? Don't really wanna spend over 500, that's why I'm going with las years models. I'd go for the SFB but the only ones that are available are this years and those are pretty over my budget.
 
They were a great every day ski for me, hardpack, pow, park. I skied more on my blogs than any other ski last year. I got 4 of my girlfriends on them too and they all loved them as their 1 ski quiver. Go for it, you wont be disappointed.
 
Blogs are deftly a good versatile pow ski, but if your a serious park rider your gonna want something else in the park. Like the comment above said at high speed groomers you gonna see a lot of flapping.
 
I used to race and bomb a lot of high speed groomers, Blogs only have "Power Rocker 10" in them vs. the Benchetler which has "Power Rocker 20" in the tip and tail. They're pretty damn stable at speed. As far as skis that can do it all, the Blog works great. Of course there are better pow skis that suck in the park or on groomers, or better park skis that suck in the pow. But the Blog is a great every day ski.
