You can get the blends for 335 in evo. Cant tell you about the ski itself

you should get it off evo but the problem with buying it online is it is sort of sketchy. i wouldnt really trust buying it online but it is cheaper. If u cant find it for a cheaper price than the regular price whoever u are buying it off is asking i would buy it online. hope it helped

P.S the blend is an amazing ski

evo is extremely if not the most reputable online ski shop, i find a vast majority of ski sites are legit, but when buying things like expensive hoes/clothing, thats where you really need to be careful

center mount them u can ski anywhere center mounted its not that different once u get used to them u dont even notice, trust me it will be much better for switch. I got my first center mounted skis this year and thought i wouldn't the able to ski anywhere besides park, once i got used to them i was ripping everywhere

Sorry for the thread jack but I think I want the Blends as well. I'm about 5'11" and 120 pounds. Would the 178's work?

Okay sweet. I could use these in the park too right? Not too much swing weight?

Well, I don't even have the option of that so sick. How much do you think I should be paying for the 2011 model? (The black ones)
