I'm relatively new at posting on here, so go easy
I'm a decent skier,
level 3+,
19 y/o 6' 160,
ski western CO
I'm looking for a ski that will perform in mainly in powder but can take the occasional park run
under 700
Thanks in advance

Blends are looking good, I have atomics with an 84 mm and they're doing nothing for me in the deep
they're 175 cm long
Were you thinking 178 or 183 for the Blends?

183, but Blends are more of an all-mountain ski.

^ would you recommend something else?
I was thinking about surface one lifes but was turned off because the rocker was so extreme

Bibby's look like the best I've seen so far
184?

With the rocker and all, you could probably go 190 without any problems.

I thought that, but considering my park game isn't all that good...
and my 175's are by far the longest skis I've ever ridden
Hopefully I'll be able to demo them before I go back to school

Do you know when ON3P might have another pre-sale or a way I could arrange one?
I would love to support what he's doing

defiantly go 184. im pretty much exactly your size and i rode the 186 bibby last season and it was awesome for shredding all around the mountain and in pow. I also rode it in the park for like a solid month when my park skis broke and it did really well there too. kinda big for rails but you get used to it and having that wide platform on jumps is way fun. The bibby this year is alittle wider and alittle stiffer but not much and still can tear it up so i say go for it and you wont regret it.
