About me, 50% all mnt jibbing %25 park, 25%backcountry. I'm 6ft 160lbs~ and a pretty decent skier. i'm looking at getting Blends this year for a do everything ski, except for deeper pow/ backcountry i have a different set for that. Does anybody know anything similar or are Blends the best choice for park/all mnt jibbing? Also i cant decide which size to go for, I'm use to 178 but i don't know if i should go to 185? Any help would be great!

If you could i would spen the extra 200-300 more and get kartels either 106 or 98 not that blends would be horrible but i think the sfb might even be a better option for you

Salomon rocker 100s, Nordica soul riders, as mentioned I've only heard good things about the ON3p kartels.

If you don't mind a little extra width the Salomon rocker 108 is super playful and jibby, but has enough camber to still hold a good edge. It skis quite short due to the early taper so you might even want to go the 190 for a more all mountain feel, 182 for a more park orientated ski.
