Hey y’all i’m thinking of getting some new skis in the near future, and thought i’d ask the experts at ns. I’m 5’10 and 125 pounds, and I ski a mix of park and all mountain, but i’m more concerned about park performance than anything else really. The main things I am looking for in a ski are lots of pop and as light of a weight as I can, and hopefully a healthy amount of rocker and good rail performance. Wets are really popular at my hill, but I’m afraid they might wash out on my landings because i’m not that great at park at the moment, I can do basic rails, sketchy 3s, some grabs, nothing too exciting. I’m used to skiing full camber narrow skis but I’m looking for something a little more pLaYfUl because my mountain is tiny.

bumping because i realized the blend might be similar to the reckoners but poppier, they seem like similar skis, i was a little worried about the blend washing out on my sketchy landings but it might not be a problem because i’m light, but idk, what do people think of the new blend?
