Haven't ridden 'em but I have hand flexed them. They aren't soft, more of a stiffer ski that will kill anywhere from pow to steeps to the park. They aren't for buttering at all and if thats what you are looking for check out the vader's or anthems.

yeah blends are much more of an all mountain ski then theyre advertised, they fucking shred, but forget about buttering.

new blend is tight, completely redesigned for next year, 100 mm under foot, no metal, carbon, just straight, lively, poppy wood. the ski is exactly how its named, its a blend of freestyle and freeride. Peter Kukush in tahoe has been freaking out on how good they are in the park, as him. oh and the graphics are sick too

I can butter on my 186 blends. But I'm also 6'2 220 lbs. I think having them centermounted helps too.
