Line blends don’t have my size but sound like the perfect ski for me. Any skis similar to those in like the 163-167 range? Preferably a soft ski thats good in park and also does well in powder

Vishnu Wet. But those aren’t wide like the blends. maybe the Vishnu Wides??

My friend has a pair of Icelantic nomad 95s, and those things are just as soft, if not then softer than my Wets. Solid ass ski. Armada edollos are very soft as well.

The J-skis Allplay is similar, although, it doesn't ski as damp as my Blends did (fair warning, ive only skied the 2011 Blends and not more recent models). Comes in a 164.

Just looked at the k2 marksman. Ik they’re more of an all mountain ski than a park ski but they’re cheap and they have my size. Thinking about just using them for park. Are they soft?

How big are you? You're willing to go to 167 but not 171? That's not a huge jump. They also make Nomad 105s someone mentioned the 95s.

I have both the Blend and Marksman. The Marksman measures long. Meaning it will measure with a straight pull of the tape from tip to tail a couple centimeters longer then whatever length you choose. The Blend measures short a couple CM. Blend is much softer and imo more suited for the park in comparison to the Marksman that is more all mountain/powder. Comes down to where you will be spending more time.
