I've been looking around on Newschoolers for stuff about the blend and i've hear mixed opinions to say the least, i've heard people call it the worst ski of all time and others calling it their favourite. I've got my eyes on a pair on kijiji and I want to hear everything people have to say about the ski.

Been skiing it for years as an all mountain park ski in the Rockies, super fun, soft ski.

Well it is one of the softest skis on the market, of course it'll be a love/hate kind of ski. Do you want to butter on top of butters? Then go for it. Want to charge hard on it outside of the park? Probably not.

I personally love it even though it's soft, I use it for just about everything on the way east coast and they can handle it. It just takes some getting used to

Yeah I want to be able to butter but maybe blends are bit extreme, I'm gonna watch the ones on kijiji but I probably wont buy anything until we get more of an idea of what next season is going to be like.

Yeah man! If your riding lake and shine mostly all mountain look into the new SFBs by Line, super buttery and fun but more versatile then the blend imo!

I've had the old SFBs in the past and i loved them for all mountain but I am lapping COP a few nights a week so I'm looking for something on the park side

I ride the blends basically everywhere. Definitely struggles in deep snow or real slushy stuff, But I wouldn't want it any other way. They are super surfy ski that bends to any transition you run into. If ya get a pair, you wont be mad
