I’m about 5’11 / 6’ and 150lbs I like to butter around and jib but also spend a good amount of time In the air throwing cork 7, 9 backies stuff like that. I like a ski a little on the wider side. Would the line blends be a good choice? If not what are some of your guys suggestions?

I enjoy my Blends and they do ski like a full on park ski. They soft as fuck tho you gotta be ready for that.

As long as you have your landings pretty dialed you'll be fine. I have a pair and they are super-nooldes and really easy to over-flex. That being said, they are a great butter and jib ski.

Just got done skiing the last 3 days out in Steamboat, CO. The whole time I used my 178 Blends over the entire mountain. Park, glade, powder, and they held up just fine and I loved them. Super soft and buttery, also reliable. Only downside I would say though is they chip and scratch up real easily on the top side so if your obviously hitting rails and what not you’ll be noticing that almost right away. Hope this helps.
