yea so broke my blends after about 12 days and will put them to warranty. and after that i need some new park skis. I’ve been looking at the edollo, prodigy 2.0. The blends were little too soft to me who likes to send the sidehits every now and then. Give suggestions
they will be mounted w pivot 14s

prodigies have felt pretty good for me so far, stable enough to use all over but the durability still isn't great

If those two skis are your narrowed down options get the edollos for sure

I got the reckoner 102 after breaking my blends and it was the best choice I've ever made.

Vishnu keys maybe. I really like them. I also love my prodigys. The prodigys durability isn't quite as good and is a bit stiffer. Both pretty equal in goodness in my onion. The prodigys are stable and the quality is decent in my opinion, but the top sheets get chipped up kinda fast.

I love my blends, I hope they don't break on me I'm only 125 pounds so I should be safe hope so :/

Since you broke you're blends I would personally chose the prodigy 2.0,

Said moments, Blends are so fun. It's unfortunate that they don't last long :/

I don’t know personally about how edollos ride, but I’ve heard some pretty bad things about faction and their durability. I mean just give it a quick search bar and you’ll see many threads of ppl complaining about the durability of their factions. As far as how thr edollos ski out of the park, I’ve seen some reviews (one of them was by henrik) and they seem like they’d perform decently well. Maybe boot deep powder?

“just get reckoner 102s” is the new “just get full tilts”

fitting since K2 also bought full tilt. Maybe we can start saying “just get K2” down the road

As someone with the Reckoners, I find myself (at 5' 10" ~175 pounds) flexing them out regularly. I bought them with the intention of using them as a "playful" park/all mountain ski, but honestly enjoy riding my Jeffrey's more because they actually push back when you load them in the tips or tails. They are fun to ride at slow speeds, but if you're looking for something with a bit more backbone I probably wouldn't recommend them personally. They're a blast in a couple inches of fresh though!

I have the prodigy 1.0 and I love those. Liberty Helix 98 is a nice option too or ON3PJeff 102 if you want something really nice.
