Product Info
For the jib-minded all-mountain skier, Line offers up the Blend for another trip around the sun. Featuring an updated topsheet and base, this park and all-mountain cruiser remains otherwise unchanged -- and believe us, that's a good thing! Gone are the days of having park-specific skis: Grease up those surface swaps, drop your tips on those switch lip hits, and maybe even ski a couple of upper mountain laps before taking on super-illusives. Thanks to the helping hand of tip rocker, early taper, and fluid flex, the Line Skis Blend Skis are the stable platform you need to air things out up top with your older brother in the morning only to blast park laps with the homies in the afternoon -- all without having to switch skis.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Early Rise™ – The rise of the tip and tail begin earlier as the ski profile moves away from center, making for easier turn initiation and helping to get the skis up on plane more quickly. This also means effortless float in softer snow.
Rocker Profile – 4 mm Tip / 4 mm Camber / 4 mm Tail
Flex
Medium Flex – Progressive flex pattern that butters with ease without sacrificing edge hold on hardpack.
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 sized sidecut radius shapes are blended into one, for intuitive control and unlimited turn shapes.
Shape
Thin Tip™ Tip and Tail – Super thin core & sidewall in the tips are 100 grams lighter per pair for reduced swing weight & tip bounce.
Nearly Symmetrical – Designed to ski equally well forwards and backwards, without sacrificing float in deep pow.
Core
Maple Macroblock – 2 full length maple stringers surrounded by aspen for increased strength and durability.
Sidewalls
Capwall™ – The best of both worlds. Cap on the top for light and playful performance with sidewall over the edge for added precision.
Base
Sintered Fatty™ Base – 30% thicker base; 1.7 mm thick base dramatically increases durability and tuning life of these skis.
Edges
Fatty™ Edge – 2.2 x 2.5 mm edge for increased durability and tuning life.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
Recommended Stance – -40 mm

Terrain:
Park & Pipe, All-Mountain

Terrain
Park & Pipe Park and pipe skis, often called freestyle skis, are for skiers who spend the majority of their time on jumps, rails, and jibs of all kinds. Traditionally park and pipe skis have narrower waists with full camber profiles, but this category is incorporating more rocker patterns and different shapes. You will almost always find these skis with twin tips as well as other park specific features like thicker, more durable edges, dense extruded bases, and butter zones. 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.

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.
