I've got the 09 Blends 178 and im so stoked for em.  I cant wait to take em out... anyone else have these skis?  If so how do they compare with everything else?  Any feedback?  Pros or Cons?

skied these one day, the fatty sidewalls they put on there hold up really well on high speed runs, and that 100mm under foot makes it a perfect cousin to the Prophet 100. Without that metal its a fun, little more playful ski compared to the prophet. I own the older blends, 90mm at waist, and they kill in the pipe too.

anxious to here how the 09s do.

SICK graphic!

SAME  even where i mounted.  Anyway the more i use em the more i love them.  100 underfoot is so stable! everywhere park included.

If i had to say a con it would be: swing weight (easy to overcome) and that i chipped the top sheet a lot already..... :(

I just got a pair of the 07/08 blends, but it looks like my season is over and I'm going to have to be patient to test them out. How do these compare to this years (09) blends? I feel a bit like I'm missing out, but I'm in the east so the extra ski underfoot might not matter. Please put my mind at ease and give me some feedback!

I was gonna start a new thread in this cult, and i do already have one in geartalk. So I hope I'm not thread jacking to bad, sorry.

But I also am wondering how you like the ski, what kind of riding do you do on it, and most importantly where did you mount it.
