Line Blends or ON3Ps

It depends on your riding style. Blends would be better for some people But ON3Ps would be better for others. If you give more information you can get better answers.

i mean i want something with decent flex but also some control like not totally edge less i ride park mostly but sometimes all mountain
 
I don’t know a ton about either of these skis but you should start by reading roof box reviews. And I think the ON3Ps are a more chargier ski.
 
It really depends on what you want. Blends are soft. ON3Ps are not that soft just have a lot of rocker that you can leverage to butter. For pure park the magnus 90 or 102 is great but so is the blend. Outside the park I prefer the blend simply because the edge tune is so aggressive on the magnus and I am on the east coast where it is usually ice.

im on the east coast too what mountain
 
I’d say if you have the funds to go with on3ps over the blends. Haven’t seen a lot of blends last more than a couple years but I have seen some on3ps go the distance. I also don’t think blends make for a really good all mountain ski unfortunately. Just too soft imo.

After a few days on rails, both edges will be rounded over anyway.
 
Blends actually hold a decent edge on groomers and are ok in a lil pow.

I have blends but the top sheet has gotten trashed so quick.

I’d say if you have the money, you’re a little heavier/charge hard. And want something that can blast through chop a lil better then get the On3p.

If you don’t feel like spending that much and are a lighter guy/looking for the softest ski that can do ok on groomers then go blend
 
If you are interrested you can go check out the stomp it tutorials on park skis, the blend is in there but take it with a grain of salt cuz it did come out like a year or 2 ago

 
Completely different skis. Narrow down your focus and don’t just buy what you see in ski videos

my personal recommendation is the Icelantic Nomad 95. Softer than ON3Ps by a lot but stiffer then Blends and a lot more stable. Just as playful as either ski and super lightweight. Durability is outstanding. But again two very different choices, you need to be more specific about what you want

A quick review of your profile tells me you’re pretty new to the scene. If you’re a beginner in terms of park skiing I wouldn’t recommend either. Give us some specific details about your style of skiing, as well as how advanced you are so we can get a better idea of what would work for you. While ON3Ps and blends are both great skis, especially ON3P, that doesn’t mean they are great for you. Buy the ski not the name/reputation.

well i ski on the east coast so slopers are different but i can do swaps on box i was aslo kinda meaning in about a year or two because of how much both of them are but i can ski double blacks and i havent been skiing too long but i am really focused on rails
 
So you’re an east coast skier who is comfortable on all terrain and is starting to focus on park/rail skiing specifically. You are not currently in the market for skis but you are wondering what would should get a few years down the line when you have some more money and need for skis.

my opinion is don’t worry too much about gear. If you have properly sized twin tips that are in decent condition you shouldn’t have any problems learning park. Once you get the basics down (270s, 450s, spinning on, swaps, etc) you will start to learn what you like and don’t like about your skis. That’s when you go spend your money on a good pair of skis. It’s always better to buy skis that fit your needs than try to fit your skiing onto a pair of skis that were bought impulsively.

Also don’t just buy blends bc they’re on TC or ON3Ps bc all the cool people have them. Buy a skis because it’s what you need regardless of who skis/makes them.
