I am looking for a good all around ski for those days when bringing my pair of hellbents to the mountain wouldnt be a good choice.i still want the ski to be able to preform well in the powder, but go into the park if necessary. I am trying to decide between these and the line blends. which one should i get or are there better skis out there?

I have been deciding between the same two skis for a while now. I did a lot of research and talked to a lot of people who are "in the know". Bottom line, Go with the K2's. I've heard a lot of negatives about the Line Blend's top coating chipping off easily as well as the metal edge being very soft. The ObSETHed is supposed to have great durability and not to mention it has slight rocker in the tips. Rocker tech is the future for guys who do it all. As far as the park goes… If your gunna throw, your gunna throw. I don’t think either ski would stand out in the park over the other really. The line will feel a little firmer on the landings, but you'll be happy to have some rocker for the big powder days or if you decide to ride some extreme terrain.
