which is better for the east, and a trip out west, i ski about %75 park so i'm thinking of going with the butterlicious but think the 1st blood wouldn't be a bad choice either. What do you guys think?

If you actually do ski that much park, I'd go with Butterlicious. A perfect choice if you're into Ninthward however would be the new Mick Pros. Then again I don't know how tall you are.

i'm 5'8" and ski that much park cuz it's basically all the east has, with the exception of a few powder days, but not many.

both of the skis are made for the same thing... so it's really your decision. if i was you i would go with the first blood... I love there graphics.

i would recomend the butters. unless you like a fatter ski in the park, then the blood is your ski. basicly you can't go wrong with either, but the blood is just a bit stiffer

ok well i'm putting a down payment on a pair tommorow so i need to decide, it's a toss up between the 180 Butterlicious and the 170 First Blood, i'm 5'8", is 170 to short, if not i'm going with those.

I think you should listen to ninthward_rep, and go with 180 either way.

i don't liek the 180 first blood colors, plus it's a fatter ski so 170 will be easier to handle.

well at 5'8 i would say that if you are gettin em for park then the 180 blood could be too big. they would be over your head. the mik d is the perfect size for your height, but i don't think that you would be wrong in the 170 blood. it is super stable, and for those days that you come out west you can ride some pow. they are a bit short, but i think the 180 blood is too big for you for park.

the 180 butters could work too.

i like the first bloods a lot, they look sick and i like stiffer skis. its all personal preferance though. if you like a stiff/fat ski then the first blood. if you like a medium flex i think and around an 80 waist then go wit hthe butters.

and the only reason that is is cause you can go to china and have shit made there and you only have to pay the people $2 a day, but then you have to move people from your company to work there so that it is still your product, and not some shitty china made thing.
