ok so i am going to be looking for a new pair of skis soon and i am drawn to the Line Blend, i am looking for some input on how these ski on groomers and overall east coast conditions.

 So if anyone has skied these in the east, howd they go? 100 underfoot used to be a little much for me to consider but im starting to change my mind

i use the 183's as my park ski. i'm 5'11" 180-190. they are the best. such an awesome one ski quiver. they are the perfect east coast ski, no doubt. you'll be stoked.

as far as what length you want, that's personal preference. like i said, i have the longer ones and they're my park skis. don't be afraid of the 183's. they are not hard to handle. but if you like shorter sticks, you may be happier with the 178's. it's up to you.

Well I have the 179 and I'm 6 foot. These skis are very very very responsive to turns, it was the first thing I notice when I first rode them. So I would say if your going to be doing bigger mountain stuff get 183, and if your going to be doing trees/park etc get 179.
