i’m 5’10, 170lbs but bulking to 180-185lbs by the time the season starts and looking at Blends cause they’re super cheap rn. I ski a tiny hill and mostly rails, with the occasional medium/large jump(30ft) here and there. Should i go with 178’s or could i fit a 185 because of how soft they are?

Get 185, they are soft and after a season their are even softer. Shorter ones will be super unstable and landing even a bit backseat will flip you over the tails on your ass.
Fun ski for rails and slow speed skate style skiing but horrible for fast/big skiing.

A lot of people always recommend largest ski size possible. All depends on your ski style. +/- to going larger or smaller or “proper” fit. To me smaller the way to go based on my style. Wouldn’t suprise me if i am in the minority on that though
