So im buying new skis this year.. ive been stuck on getting chronic blends for a while, but i think that the new vokle bridge would be good too.. So heres my stats: im 6' 2" 160 pounds, im a racer so i know how to work a ski.. i ski at mt hood, so i want a ski that will float well, but i also ned something i can take in he park  and that can handle some crud,, seeing that hood doesnt get as much powder as i would like...

having owned a pair of lines and volkls and being similar in height to you Im pretty sure you want to go with the Volkl's.

Lines are fun to dink around on but because they are so soft and your a bigger guy coming from a racer background you won't be able to work em at all and they'll flap around in the crud like crazy.

Volkl are definately sitffer, stronger and overall a way better ski.. their entire lineup was ranked very highly in all of the ski tests this year.

Plus half these kids reccomending line live in a icy park on the east coast with nothing better to do than butter.

I'm Starting to get tired vouching for the Bridge, but I have to be honest, it's an amazing ski. It'll be great for what you need it for.

thanks for all the input.. sounds like i should get the bridges.. i had a pair of ten-eightys before and there chattered all over the place in crud,, so i think a change to a little stiffer ski would be better..

ps. yea i spelled volkl wrong,, but i realy dont tink it maters to much

you're a fucking moron the person i quoted made a generalization that all lines are buttery which is untrue and relevant to the thread because the person wanted accurate information on BLENDS not the noodle invaders or anthems or elizabeths just seriously shut the fuck up
