Im currently stuck between the Line Blends, J Skis allplay, and the Icelandic Nomad 95s, but I’m leaning towards the line blends. I will be skiing 70% park, 30% all mountain and I’m 115 5’5.

Need help picking skis

What I was thinkingš¤
I’ve been skiing the blends the past couple of years and they are an awesome all around ski, especially in the park. Since you’re a lighter skier as well they should be the perfect amount of soft.
You may not recall but before all of the new wave park/urban guys were on them, they were marketed as more of a “ski literally everything” ski from park to groomers to pow. I remember tons of marketing photos Line would put out with guys ripping blends off cliffs into pow and stuff. They can still do it all, super versatile and 100 under foot enables them to rip just about anything.

Where do you ski mostly?
mystery3Where do you ski mostly?
Carinthia, but when it snows a bunch we go somewhere else like magic mountain, mad river glen, etc
IMHO, the Blends seem like the best option for sure, due to your weight and type of skiing, especially if you like a bit more buttery and playful ski
The blends are a masterpiece of a ski. There's a reason why it hasn't changed shape/flex in 10 years.

I think I’m going with the 2019 because it’s cheaper, any difference from 19 to 20?
J skis!!
I can vouch for jskis whipit. Super soft ski if you're into that. Had a pair for 3 seasons now. Pretty beat but I've had some good fun with them. Not sure about the allplay but I always wanted a pair so I could ride pow just a little better than on my whipits.

They have definitely changed. The only thing that hasn’t is the dimensions I believe. The original 100 underfoot blend was full camber and not soft at all. The current blend is super soft. They have definitely changed the flex pattern over the years, maybe not in 4 years now.
Get surface outsiders
Thanks everybody for the help, picked up some 2019 Line Blends

I got the 171s because the 178s would’ve been too big
