Product Details
Shape
Early Taper™ – The widest point of sidecut starts tapering earlier in the tip to reduce tail drag and hooking in powder.
Rocker Type
Profile – 9-4-9mm (Early Rise Tip/Camber/Early Rise Tail)
Early Rise™ – The rise in the tip and tail starts earlier for effortlessly staying on top of the snow without needing to sit back and easier turn initiation.
Construction
Thin Tip™ – A super thin core and sidewall in the tip is 100 grams lighter per pair for reduced swing weight and tip bounce.
Flex
Symmetric Flex™ – The same flex pattern in-front and behind your boot conforms to terrain equally riding forward and backwards.
Sidecut
5 Cut™ – 5 different sizes of sidecut radius shapes are blended into one, for intuitive control and unlimited turn shapes.
Core
Maple Macro Block™ – 2 full length Maple stringers surrounded by Aspen for the best of both worlds.
Sidewalls
Sidewall™ – P-Tex plastic walls over the edges absorb vibrations for a smooth and solid feel.
Base
Fatty Sintered Base and Edge™ – 30% thicker base and edge dramatically increases durability and tuning life.
Graphics
Eric Pollard’s unmatched style transitions from snow to the canvas, and especially to Line’s skis.
**Please note that base colors will alternate and may not arrive exactly as pictured.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width that is equal to the ski waist width and at most 15 mm wider.

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level:
Intermediate-Advanced

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Turning Radius:
Medium

Turning Radius
Medium 17-22 m radius is best for all-mountain and park & pipe.
- Core/Laminates: Wood

Tail Type:
Full Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Full Twin Tip Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
