I have blends and I must say they are a really fun ski. I like that they are on the softer side, which makes them really playful. I haven't had a chance to ski any real deep snow with them, but they were great in the fresh and old crust that I skied them on. I mounted mine -2cm back from dead center, and I'm glad I went with a more centered mount. I did take these skis on jumps a little bit and found I really liked the stability of a wider ski, which led me to a wider park ski
