Icelantic Pilgrims or Line Blend?

I'd say i ski park (mostly jumps, some rails) 55% of the time and the other 45 on the mountain (woods, bumps, ect). I'm just looking for a ski that can perform well in both of these places. I live in Vermont, so the woods are real tight. So far i've checked out the Icelantic Pilgrims and the Line Blends.. both are all mountain skis and seem like something i could ride on. Currently, i have line invaders. 160 lbs. 5'10''. Unless you guys have something better in mind, what ones should i get? Thanks

178 line blends. They have such a nice flex, soft but not too soft. Just a tad of rocker in the tips and tails, and they weigh as much as a regular 80waist park ski. Maybe look into chronic cryps or Rossignol s5's. Both are 90+ waists, have stiffer flexes, and no rocker. Don't know anything about icelantic, we don't carry it at the shop I work at.

I love Icelantic. Great company, great skis, and (not that it matters) the best graphics in the ski industry. The Pilgrims would be a good choice for you. Lighter and a lot more responsive than the Blends, and also a little more hardpack oriented. Its a good east coast all mountain ski. The Blend is also a good ski. Either way you should be happy.

I ride last years pilgrims.  I can't speak to how well they perform in the park but they are definitely a good all mountain ski . They definitely aren't as burley as a dedicated park ski.

Super fun and you can't beat the graphics.
