Awsome High Pressure Ski

By Elias Littenberg 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.
