Not really, if the 2012 was more pow, it would be a lot fatter. For a 50/50 ski, Blend for sure.

the blend rocks. Stiff under foot and soft playful tip and tail make them rip just about anywhere.

Colorado FreeSkier has a good deal on them right now

The Blend is a fatter ski but the 2012 is rockered a bit so the 2012 is more of a pow ski but id say if your going for a little bit more park then go with the blend for sure

No... The Blend is rockered and wider, so it's definitely the choice for pow. The 2012 is more of a rockered park ski.

If you hit alot of rails in the park, for sure go with the blend. All salmon skis get ripped to pieces on rails. Otherwise if you mainly hit jumps when your in the park, get the 2012's. If your hitting rails, without a doubt get the blend!

I would put almost any Salomon ski out of the equation on this one.
