what made it so tight? definitely on my radar, but i know nothing about it other than it looks cool. 110 underfoot is perfect daily driver

nailed it

i was only on them for a couple of runs at a demo day, but they seemed like they would be a great everyday ski

just got back from the Atomic Demo Day at Alta....the Blog was my favorite.  Our whole crew thought it was the best (at least for today's conditions).  If it were dumping pow, I would definitely take a Bent Chetler or Atlas; but we don't have a ton of snow in Utah right now and the Blog ripped on crud and groomers.  Awesome ski!

I would venture a guess that the blog would be just fine in the deep.? How's the flex? Camber underfoot right

I found that it kind a folded on me a lot, and the tips chattered on any hard snow. I think for the size that the ON3P Jeffery is superior in every way.

i thought their performance on firm snow was incredible for a 110mm ski.  i've had two days on them so far, skiing solely on man-made snow in the ice coast.  they carve like a mother, short turns, long turns, and i have yet to find the speed limit.  they are very poppy and super responsive.  i'm coming off of 2nd gen seth pistols for the last 5 years and the blogs are a complete game changer.  i have the 185's mounted at the "team" line and i'm 6'2" and 190lbs.  super fun one-ski quiver!
