Used them for two seasons now can recommend. Fun in the park pretty flexy but still give a nice pop when doing butters or ollies and stuff. If u plan on riding in the park a lot then its a good option definetly one of my favorite skis ive had.

you'll hear all kinds of mixed opinions on Blends but don't worry, it's not some complex nuanced thing to figure out. they're great skis, they're just SUPER soft. so some people love them, some people can't stand them

depending on what you ski and your preferences, maybe super soft is the ticket for you. they'll be forgiving, easy to press, fun and playful; but they won't be as stable and charge-y and good at speed

if you're still on the fence, i suggest you get something else that's a little more towards medium in the flex range

Well Ive used them for two seasons now and havent had any trouble yet edges still intact and nothing seems to be breaking so atleast my experience has been good.

Got my first pair last year. After my first day in the park with them I was convinced they were the most fun skis I’ve ever had. Also make skiing fun anywhere can butter and get pop all over the hill
