And why wouldnt they be the right ski for me? i was looking for something with a larger underfoot.... I guess if it isnt the ski for me could you recommend one that would be suitable?

i think the blend would be a sick ski for you... dont listen to every 12 year old on here whose answer to everyquestion is .... "you should get anthems..."

If you're going towards more park i'd say go with the regular chronics, not the blend.

Get the Blends.  They will be perfect for what you want to do.

If you're looking for something you can ski on all day everyday, don't want to compromise on coming down on width, and will still do pretty well in the park then you're looking at the right ski.  The Chronic might give you an extra little leg up, but I completely understand wanting a ski with soft snow versatility.

If you thing you're diggin the Blend in the 183, and you don't want to pay the extra shipping, we have one left... free shipping in the States.

def stiffer than the anthems, bit stiffer than the chronics. anthems are one of the softest flexing skis out there, ar6s are on the softer side too. blends are medium to sitff.

much stiffer and heavier then anthems and arvs and  wider too. they aren't really a park ski anymore more all mountain freestyle. anthems would be a good bet.

100 under foot might be a little much, but the blend is this years sickest all around ski, super soft tips, still stiff in the middle. It should kill in the pipe.

blend is about the same flex as the chronics. i found them to be slightly stiffer, other people say slightly softer. right in that ballpark tho.

mmm interesting... I had Anthems last year, but they were stolen... so I'm looking more for a all mountain ski... but that still have a nice flex... like... not stiff but not too soft you know... I thought chronics were stiff skis...
What do you think of the ARV's in compaison with the blends? I know they are softer... but are they too soft for all mountain?.. I SO CONFUSED
