I've been looking at new skis, and i really like the new line blend's with jesters and fulltilt boots, i think its a good all around ski and a really good setup, but let me know what you guys think, because i really dont like my 08 public enemies...

I'm not a huge fan of my 08 PE's either

Buy that setup, it sounds epic. I don't ski enough soft snow to buy Blends so I'm waiting for the new Afterbangs :D

If your mom is so kind.


it is a really nice setup though, look into obsethed's also.

ummmmmm

blends=100mm under foot traditional camber.

obSETHed's-110(i actually dont know the real dims, but its pretty fat) and full rocker.

big difference.

id look at kung fujas, they are 95mm under foot, and super poppy and jsut a fun ski. but blends look sick too cant go wrong with either of em.

blends = dopest ski ive ever ridden. everything about them is perfect. jesters? yea ok, thatll work. full tilt? does it fit your foot? if so, get them, if not, do not.

The obsethed is 138/105/125, so very close to the blend.  It doesn't have full rocker either, only 15/20.  So the rocker is very small really.  It is a great all around ski.

Ok so now boots come into setup recommendations - that is a serious error.

Skis and bindings, fine - they are universal and don't depend on the shape of someone's foot
Boots do though.

if you ski at perfect north slopes then no, the skis would not be good for perfects but the binding are ok( Salomon STH 16's are better) and the boots are good if they fit your foot.

This is not bad advice for an east-coast skier. Kung Fujas are solid in the park and wide enough to take out on the one or two pow days you get in a season.

im going to college in durango colorado, so i really wont be skiing much at perfect north anyway, and fulltilts do fit my foot, and so do SPK's, but i really like the fulltilt hotdoggers...so if you guys have anyother sick park and pow setups for me, let me know, i would really appreciate it.

the hell they don't. try skiing a charging ski with a soft park boot, have fun with turns and keeping the ski going where you want it. boots play a big role in how your movements are directed into the skis. there are certain features of boots that make a huge difference in how a ski performs.

I would say check out the kung fujas for next year too, 125/95/120, mini rocker to help with soft snow, lots of pop, super fun all around ski. kills in the park too.

i dont know because  havent seen your foot. the thing that is alittl wierd about that is that the SPK is a much wider boot than the full tilts. would you say you have a foot thats on the wider side or the skinnier side?
