Thoughts on the '10 Line Blends??

I bought my blends about two months ago, and I have never been so impressed with a ski. They kill the park, and the extra width they have is great for powder. As soon as I step into them I feel more confidant and capable, like i could hit any jump or any rail in front of me.  On top of that, the graphics are sick. The ads dont lie, this is a blend of all skis in one. The only thing i dont understand is why they're so stiff. Anyone else own a pair of the new blends? what do you think? any problems? are there any other skis like them?

I have the 08/09 blends and i hate them they're heavy as shit and they feel like they dampen my skiing(like i cant really feel the bumps in the snow and when im on rails they just feel like there is a cushion betwen my ski and the rail which is weird) I also find that they are unresponsive and extremely soft they work fine in powder but thats about it.

Do you have any of the same problms with you skis? Are your this years model?

yes mine are this years, and they feel light enough to me but i agree with you about the unresponsive part. how beaten up/ used are your skis and how long are they? the "cushion" and the weight and maybe even the unresponsiveness might be because they are a thicker ski. this isnt a problem for me because im a big guy, but im not sure.

I'm 6'2" and 180 the skis are 183's. they are last years so they have that wierd topsheet that doesnt chip but instead tears and delams they are only 3 months old. Also im coming from moment reno jibs whch might make the blends feel heavy but i really dislike the ride of the blends so now im skiing the reno jibs which to me are a lot funner.

I have the 08 ones and love them! first think I notice about them was how responsive they were, then I notice they soften up after a while with skiing on them. Also they are heavy as the lizzys but that doesnt matter unless your doing 100% park.

I love mine, they slay everything and the width underfoot makes you feel like you can do anything :S

They're not going to look pretty for ever though :(
