In the new post from LINE, what are the orange base skis the skier is using?

I can't tell.

If you were a rep or a pro -- why would you care about using rock skis. You wouldn't, because you knew that you would just get another pair.

Reps are the Gods of the ski industry. They get little money and few resources and have to make do. It's not as if they have 20 pairs sitting in the back of their car to do with what they wish. Plus, a pair they destroy in the early season is a pair that could have been sold at full price in a shop.

That guy isn't a rep for Line. That's why he's using old skis.
