Welcome to the live chat with Line Skis founder Jason Levinthal. Jason will do his very best to answer as many questions as possible during the hour but won't be able to get to everything in detail.

From your questions we'll be conducting an interview with Jason on NS Radio so we can go far more in-depth on the important issues.

So post away and we'll get your questions answered one way or another.

Are the invaders really great, wiht the whole symetrical from tip to tail thing. a true twintip. When line skis came out isn't that how all your skis were and everybody didn't like it because it just doesnt work wiht your body ratio

Jason, why is it you guys are only starting to use sidewall construction now, and only on the elizabeths?

why do you continue to choose to use cap construction instead of sidewall?

Jason, with the recent bomb of your binding, how do you feel about the ad that you ran against competitor’s bindings in an issue of last year’s freeskier magazine???? It clearly was a bash on such bindings as Rossignol and Look, yet now it seems as if you have “givin up” on the project and are no longer pursuing bindings. Seems as if you were harshing on the most successful line of jib bindings out there, and now you have no product to back it up, what are your thoughts on the situation???

Will you ever offer longer versions of your current skis? I for one am 6'4 and a 186+ model of the Invaders would be sweet. Why only the shorter lengths?

How much R&D went into the invader? Have you had many problems (snapping) with the section in the ski that is "milled thinner". Will this affect the ski's lifespan?

Toughest decision going, Craig is the shit, he's been riding with and for us since he was very young. his vid this year in level 1 is definitely solid. You got a to know being a pro skier is different then being a skier. a pro is short for PROFESSIONAL this means you no longer only ride for the fun of it but you now skiing is also you business. Line is a business too and both skiing and Line are fun businesses to be in but at the end of the day you both have certain needs and plans and sometimes over time both of them don't line up to be the same even if you both like each other, respect each other and want to support each other.

yes and we are doing that right now with the new Prophet series launching this year. Freeride and freestyle enjoy different aspects of skiing but their both just as core as the other with just as much heart and soul in skiing so we must support freeride as well as freestyle.

I like what lots of ski cos are doing these days because their doing the same thing I've been doing which helps the overall cause. I think each one brings a different flavor and its really important to have as many pushing in the same direction toward the future and progression of the sport and no one company can do it alone in the number of ways it needs to be done.
