Alright Folks, just like everyone else on here need help making a decision. So I am getting the Line Opus in a 185 for my lucky powder days. The question is what LINE ski do i get as well. Can't decide if a get the Sir Francis Bacon, Blend, or Chronic. I am 5'8 180lbs and Type III Skier. Looking for an all mountain/park ski (50/50) NS help me out! +K for the help. And sorry to clutter up Gear Talk with the same question as everyone else.

don't get the sfb if you also have the opus's. i personally would get the chronics if you want a 50/50

i would agree with the guy above. the SFB is a all mountain ski geared towards powder. If you already have a powder ski then go for the Blend. It is more geared towards park than the SFB

why are you so set on line? there are plenty other nice skis out there. if you want a wider park ski, you could go for the on3p jmo, atomic patent, or k2 domain.

the chronics are a great all mountain ski and are awesome in the park. the blends are great too but i would want something a little narrower for park, especially since you already have powder skis. thats just my preference though

I understand there are so many company's out there with great ski's. But a couple of years Line helped me out with great customer service...so for that i am going to stick with LINE.

Blend or TC (Anthem)

I've done both, both kill it all around the mountain and are incredibly fun in park

I did have the Anthems (171)a couple years ago and loved them. I bought the afterbangs(177) last year, so maybe I should hope on the Blends. What Size?
