Hey guys I’m a 5,7” 140lb skier from the PNW and I’m looking to get the blends as my pure park ski as I already have two other pairs. I’m just wondering about the durability. Seeing as I’m just getting into park and don’t send too hard would they last me a while?

I have about 20 days on my blends, and Ive found the damage to be mostly cosmetic, there are some chips in the top sheet and it is pretty scratched up. I have a few minor scratches on the base, mostly from rocks and shit. They are a wicked fun ski and I’d definitely recommend them, although they do sometimes like to fold in half if you go big.

Definitely a fun playful ski that would last you a while. I’d get it in 171

Ive been rocking Blends for around three years now and never had a problem with a pair breaking on me. Yea they will flex in a lil, but if your not really abusing them you'll be all set!
