I'm trying to figure out what would be a good ski to buy. I know i want it to be soft, medium width, and a good park and all mountain ski. Any recommendations?

You just described the Line Anthems bro.

They're soft, 93-95mm underfoot, and designed as a park/all mt. ski.

I'm a big guy (6'1", 200lbs.) and Im shocked that I haven't broken them for as soft as they are. My onlt complaint is the fact that 179 is the max length, and as it's a perfectly symmetrical ski, you have to mount it center, so I feel like it's a tad short.

Otherwise, give this ski a look. Plus, you can scoop this past year's addition incredibly cheap right now.

A better choice for a rider that plans on doing a little more all mt. v. park skiing as it's stiffer, and I imagine it holds edges better and is less likely to deflect in crud—so probably a bit more lively/poppy for jumps too. The Blend is just a beefier ski, where as the Anthem is much more playful.

Let me qualify all of this with saying I've never ridden the Blends and I own the Anthems, but I would guess that the Anthem would be better suited for someone more interested in jibbing, buttering, and pressing, where the Blend is better for peeps who are looking to hit bigger jumps (especially booters, and mellow BC jumps), and carve/shred all mt.
