go with the stl's. i think the blends will be to stiff for how little you weight.

yeah, the 07-08s.

i heard the stls are stiff too though, people said they've snapped them. but i dont ski hard enough to the point where it think theyd break..

STLs are not stiff at all. if you're afraid of stiff i'd suggest staying away from the blends, which are significantly stiffer.

unless you do something stupid you shouldn't break them. and yah, i'd stay away from blends if you don't want a stiff ski. blends are an awesome ski though

I have this years 07/08 Blend in size 165 for sale real cheap.  Only ridden two days.  They're on ebay.  Like they said, awsome ski.  Here's the link.

i love my 177 stls.

they are not stiff skis, the only reason they might feel stiff for you is because of the length. I am 5'9 and my 177s feel sort of stiff, but not overly

hope I helped.
