I have a similar story to this but i have a more park specific ski aswell but are shite in pow. Howevre i digress, if you are interested in a all in one ski i can praise the blend for having a good balance of all aspects however in my personal opinion if you are looking to get into more serious park skiing get something not as wide. If you think you are going to spend more time hopping about in pow and other big mountainy stuff go blend as its great for that and still allows to hit up the park if you want
