Hey

I have decided to get the Line Blend for a one ski quiver. However im concerned how they'll handle the POW because i live in Whistler and it snows heeps. Im also worried a little about its park peformance. comments on this ski would be greatly appreciated.

How do they go in Powder will i need to get another pow ski or will they be fine (I only way 110 pounds so im light btw)?

WHat is there flex are they stiff or soft or medium?

And finnally how good are they in the park, (easy to spin , Light weight , buttering, adoqaute on rails and boxes)?

Overall what are the Blends good in and what arnt they and if possible a specific comment on their peformance in park and pow.

Thanks guys,

 
i haven't ridden them but i can tell you this based on what i know about the ski. They should be fine for you in pow, youre very light and theyre like 100 underfoot i think, no worries. As for flex, they are fairly stiff because it really is a pow/ all mtn kind of ski. They'll be fine on jumps and rails too, just a bit wider than you'd expect froma park ski obviously but it can be done. I think will wesson was riding them in the new travleing circus 6 episode on rails.
 
They will be a great pow/charger ski for you. They will probably be fun in the park as well, but you will not be able to butter them, as they are stiff and you aren't very heavy.
 
a comparably sized ski, is the K2 Obsethed. It has very slight tip and tail rocker, so it slays powder, and it does pretty well in park and chop. I ride with two guys who have them, and they both love them. Good luck findings ur one pair.
 
Oh, another thing, 100-105 waist is poerfect for a one quiver in Whistler. Especially if you venture out of the fluff for park. Hope that helps.
 
I have 183 Blends and they kill anything. Super stable at speed. Pretty stiff flex but nice and poppy for big park jumps. I ride these as an all-around park/groomer ski and love em. For POW I love to ride my Hellbents so, I've only skied a couple inches of fresh with these and they float just fine. Check my Pictures for a couple shots. One of the sickest looking graphics.
 
blends, obsethed or kung fujas will be sick as BO.

blends for everything, obsethed will be better in pow and kungs will rip everything and be super fun but not as stable.

hows the surf?
 
hands down best all around ski.

Love mine for everything, buying next years too since my are outskied.

I ski Kicking Horse, so we get dry pow, they rip in the deep stuff, perfect flex (Medium), spin really really nice. dont do no rails. Amazing for switch, amazing for everything, Buy them, I know I am again

I have the blends and while i have never skied a fatter ski I got the chance to ski knee to waist deep powder in them and they still absolutely rip. They imo are the perfect flex for a one ski quiver (not hard but not soft by any means). Im not too hot in the park but I think I charge pretty hard and fast in the steeps and the rare powder I get and these are the best skis I have ever used for that stfuff. In the park, what can you really expect from a 100 waist ski on rails and boxes? I guess its really the skier that matters but stuff is gonna be a little harder imo. I think they are pretty easy to spin but I also got them a little longer because I wanted to use them for more steeps/powder stuff so maybe shorter if you plan on doing much more park. Your pretty skinny kid im guessing so just get a smaller ski but it is probably one of the best skis out there right now. Also the topsheet is kinda shitty compared to previous years Line skis (I have line skis from the past 3 years I think now so I know that this year is by far the shitiest topsheet). Great ski though, so fun.
