2008/2009 Line Blend 183 - Review


Bottom Line:  This ski is slightly stiffer than I imagined it to be, which really makes it ski about 50% all mountain, 25% park and 25% pow. If you only want one ski to do everything, and you ski park, pow, and everything else this is a great ski to consider. If I could only own one pair of skis to do everything..and I skied about 70% powder/crud and 30% park I would really consider buying this ski.

Pros:  Skied this ski at The Canyons on opening day. They only had one run open and part of it was a park. The ski was a little bit stiffer than I expected...but it still slayed rails. It skis a little bit more like a powder ski than a park ski..but it definitely handled the park fine.

Cons:  Too fat for a true park ski.  Too narrow and soft for a true big mountain ski.
