Here's a link on Line's site about the history of their company.

Article about The New Canadian Airforce

Honestly though, your best resource is one that may be difficult to find, which is old issues of magazines.

May want to rethink your topic, not to be a debbie downer.

might want to mention things like the 1080 ski and snowblading that line first set up - thats what i spoke about way back - now i have to do presentations on such thrilling subjects such as the variations in size and alignments of feldspars in a magma intrusion - fun times...

If you are looking for a little more info on how the Twin Tip ski came to be, then you have come to the right place. In Episode 3 of Salomon Freeski TV, Mike Douglas gives you an insiders view of how twin tip ski’s were created and how the freestyle sport grew. We may have a pop quiz, so you better study up!

Also, Salomon just released Episode 4 of Freeski TV today. This episode gives you insight from skiers and photographers alike on how some of the sickest ski photos were created.

You can watch the whole series of videos at:

and if you want the history of women in freeskiing there was a huge article on it in the womens annual that came out last month
