Can't speak for the Blends, but the Revivals are sick, they rip everywhere

The math was a mistake bro
correction= 50% park 50% all mountain
The only time I really ski powder is on powder days when I take advantage of the snow and stay off the groomers. I don't do backcountry though. Also, do you think the blends will be good on rails?

Dude the Revivals are super sicks skis.. They shred any were, they are even ok in powder. The revivals are super solid jump skis, that are able to take big hits and let you stomp with authority. They have k2's sick Jib rocker so they butter super nice to, but next year they are not going to make them any more so get them now. Next years k2's that are replacing the revivals are the Recoils and they are geared to be more of all mountain/Jib ski with some sick new rocker.. so i suggest the Revivals but remember both the Revivals and the Blends are made in the same factory..

Yeah just jokin' around. What I meant was how many pow days do you get per year? If it's only a few days out of the year I think the revivals would be the way to go. My roommate has them and he says they do significantly better in pow than similar sized non-rockered skis. I have been skiing kung fujas in the park and elsewhere most of the year (summit county) and they seem like a similar style of ski to the blend. They only downside is the weight but I got used to that pretty quickly. If you are skiing a significant amount of pow I would go blend, not much pow, I would say revival.

I demod the kunf fujas's this year and loved them, so if they ski like that I'm happy. But how are the blends on rails? I feel the width will make it hard for switch ups and holding and edge on boxes and rails.

Get blends. They are fun everywhere.

Revials are pretty meh and dont ride that well outside of the park.

Never tried revivals, but blends are so much fun. They shred everywhere.

Blend out of these too, wider but funier. Can i suggest another ski ? On3p jeronimo. Check those, the dimension seem perfect for what you need.

Completely different skis.... with that being said.. what type of skiing would you like to do. the blends will give you a more playful feel with the early rise tip and tail and will feel more jibby. The revivals are alot stiffer but will still butter fine becasue of k2's jib rocker

based off what? they have sick camber if you wanna rip cord they shred that shit so hard they have a little early rise rocker so they are nice in deep snow and they have great felxy spots for buttering around the mountain and they feel great in the air off big jumps

i dont know much about the blend but this guy definatley doesnt know shit about anyhting

Well i have ski both skis. For a good amount of time.


I thought that they where boring skis with no pop and they don't preform that well outside of the park. The rocker is short and low and doesn't help much for pow.

They also don't have sick camber, its super minimal if no existing.

You obviously haven't been on a lot of skis.
