Blend Ski

Line designed the Blend to be a true all-mountain, all conditions weapon. The 100mm waist and generous sidecut rips groomers, kickers, and the pipe with a ton of control, but stil gives you plenty of float in the deep stuff. For '10/'11 line gave the Blend early rise tip and tail technology and softened the flex for a more playful freestyle feel.

  • Base and edge are twice the thickness of a standard ski for extreme durability and impact resistance
  • ABS sidewalls dampen vibration
  • Maple Macroblock Core for light weight, durability and long lasting camber
  • Symmetric flex at the tip and tail for predictable handling whether riding forward or switch
  • 5 radius sidecutfor powerful turn exits and less tail hooking

Bottom Line: Free-blend.

Depends on your style of skiing. If you are looking for this ski to be more playful, mount it in the center. If you want more of a traditional hard charging ski, mount it behind the center line.

I'm 5'5 and weigh about 160 what size should I go for.

I'm 5'5 and weigh about 160 what size should I go for. I'm an advanced skier looking to charge hard in both the park and back country. I'm stuck between the 168 and 173 because I've read with early rise you should go a bit larger?

168 I think would be a little short. Unless you plan on skiing a lot more park than backcountry. If you like backcountry, your safest bet is the 173. It may be long in the park, but you'll get a lot more benefits out of it.

Awsome High Pressure Ski

By: Backcountry.com Employee
September 8, 2010

This was probably my favorite ski at the tests last year. I skied it at Winter Park on a cold, icy, and uninspiring midweek day. Perfect day to test gear (all skis feel great on the great days, give me lousy conditions). The Line Blend has a nice snappy feel that makes it extra fun to pop and press off every little bump and jump you can find. The same snappy core also helps the ski carve really well for a 100mm waist. That 100mm waist comes in handy when launching and landing your big jumps - very stable. The mellow tip and tail rocker gives the Blend an agile and loose feel in soft chop and powder. You can easily transition from skiing groomers and park to dropping into fun trees and mellow chutes. Skiing switch is so fun on these, it doesn't feel any different than skiing forward. All in all I'm really looking forward to skiing the Blend on those high pressure days in Little Cottonwood Canyon and taking them on road trips that aren't powder centered. I'm 5'9", 140lbs and skied the 183cm about 1cm forward of the freeride mounting point.

Are these skis light? I like to ski the steep bowls and cliffs, along with some park. Are they a good do-it-all ski for that?

I'm new to skiing, I am using a pair of Salomon Guns, 174cm.

I'm new to skiing, I am using a pair of Salomon Guns, 174cm. I am 6', 190 lbs, and I am under the impression that the skis I have are too small. I have been making some runs in powder, occasionally in trees, so far with about an 80% success rate. Would I be able to handle these skis? Are they too stiff? And would they be light enough for backcountry?

great ski for starting out. Another ski similar to this one is the Rossi S3. Both skis are great in the powder and trees. As far as length goes, I would probably go for the 183 in the blends or a 186 in the S3's

These skis are a great all rounder, and are great for one starting to get into backcountry. I would definitely recommend these skis.

They'll do good. But they are a little too wide to use them as an everyday park ski. This is more 50% park 50% everything else.
