Line Skis

Then don't get them.

If you haven't noticed they also upped the price by like $100 per ski which is rediculous. Blends are now $750 instead of $600

their high level skis are good but their lower level stuff sorta sucks-- extruded bases, stupid shit like afterbangs, etc

so personally i dont like them cause i think there are ~10 million better skis to get when im spending the dough for em, but theyre not that different from a lot of other companies-- they have good and bad/pricier and more expensive skis

the reason people hype them up so much on here is because their marketing is so directed to the NS crowd/younger folk; no offense to anyone but it's a pretty impressionable crowd

wow i hadnt looked at their site in a long time. those prices are a joke

yeah man don't buy LINE... They're fun skis - however, from my experience, they are not durable. Additionally, they're very expensive and you're essentially paying extra for their advertising/marketing


i know for sure my next pair of skis are gonna be

If Its made in china does not necessarily mean that they are bad quality. I have not ridden too many lines skis but I heard lots of good things about their sticks. Durability is definetly not the best on cheaper side of the skis but they are made for beginners Who doesnt destroy their skis so easily. And their pow skis are on point so why wouldnt People buy them? And of course they got lots of Tom Wallisch and traveling circus fanboys buying their skis

Yeah I was thinking about getting Jskis or HG skis since they are made in the same factory. If you do get them, tell me how they are.

yeah forgot to mention that being made in china doesnt necessarily mean worse quality etc. though there are plenty of good arguments against companies that make their skis there... but those are all subjective points

I'm really about my Armada's right now. Been riding the Halo/Alpha series for some time. If you can, try to find a used pair of 2010-2014 Armada's..

with the recent price rise Line's skis without an evident product improvement. It would be in my best interest if i were buying new skis to buy from a more independent company that is more focused on improving and creating products. With the price change they are marketing their skis against some higher end ski companies like Moment and ON3P which for me is an easy choice for which company deserves my 750$.

Hey take a look at Jskis if you're looking at microbrew ski companies

The 2017 model is $600 on Evo, Skis.com and Backcountry. I paid $370 for my 2016s and guess what... Blends sell out at the end of every season. Same with the Chronic.

They drop down quickly during the season unlike the small companies that people always compare them to. You shouldn't expect $700 quality out of a ski that can easily be had for 2/3 that price.

You guys are crazy about this stuff.

Im crazy about it because they raised the prices, when clearly they should be where they were priced the previous seasons. Buying the year of for gear is pretty dumb when you can get it from like 1/2 the price in 3 months

So what do you guys think of Jskis? Specially the whipits. I feel like Jskis is just higher quality LINE skis. Is this true?

you shouldn't expect $700 quality out of a ski that retails for $700...hmm...

i would never buy a ski at retail but that doesnt change the fact that line overprices their skis

Line makes solid products. I've had many sets over the last 14 years ranging from skiboards to price point a-bangs to pollard pro models and haven't had any unexpected issues.

The line hate is from people who have never actually owned a pair and/or the average NSer's irrational thirst for all things "core".

The reason I stick with Line is because of the niche models. The blend is the perfect park/piste ski for me and nothing else on the market can really touch it. The mordecai is my go to powder/everyday ski.

Their park skis blow up my experience. Bacon and the Pollard series are great, Line skis ride great, I've seen 8 pairs delam, 2 snap, and a few others fall apart. I know someone sponzered by them and I can see all his fall apart throughout the season. His shortest ride on a pair was 6? Days I think until it delammed and snapped.

a friend of mine has been riding the original afterbangs for like 4 seasons.

Hello. Josh, LINE Rebel Command here, a few things that need to be cleared up.

1. Manufacturing: I won't speak much to the blatantly ignorant troll comment beginning this thread and get into that debate, but what I can say is our skis are engineered, developed, tested, prototyped, tested more in collaboration with our athletes and consumers to meet the needs of what they want. We are proud of what we produce and work with a network of insanely smart & passionate people (in-house, out-of-house, etc). Development is done in North America and mass production is done at our state of the art factory in China (you read that right, it's insanely good, just kinda far away, like Bulgaria). We use the highest quality materials and our proprietary durability tests are insanely extensive. If you are speaking about a personal pair of skis you've broken I hope very much you've contacted us or your LINE dealer about solving the issue if there is one. We have your back and if there's an instance we didn't, I want to hear about it to make it right.

2. Prices have not changed however we are now only offering our skis at the MSRP pricing on lineskis.com. Our current year skis (not older skis, those can be discounted if you can find them) are sold at a few prices to skiers, MSRP & MAP. The MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price, this is the price of the ski we suggest selling, the price we, the manufacturer sells the skis for, that's why you see it on our site (like the sticker price on a car). We also have a Minimum Advertised Price (MAP), it's the price you usually see crossed out and the MAP is the price most ski shops sell at. We market our gear, educate you about it and can sell you skis from our site but skis are sold at ski shops and ski shops are the heart of the industry, they'll give you the best price & service so if you're considering buying any skis this year, go walk into the shop in your area and talk to them about it.

Sorry for the essay and +1 if you read it all. Hope that clears things up! If you have any question please e-mail me directly at josh@lineskis.com or go oldschool and CALL US! 1 888 LINE SKI

thanks. -jm

Sorry for souding for biased against you guys but I just wanted to know if your skis are actually solid. I have had heard people tell me they fall apart and and some people tell me they are durable.

I love Line. The Opus and SFB were always my fave powder sticks. By a wide margin (owned/ride Chopsticks, Pontoons, Hell Bent, Shreditor, Rocker2 122, etc.) I think that got them a ton of love early on. As did the Elizabeth (first fat park ski)... Also, the Invaders were a huge hit when they came out and I owned 4-5 different sets of those...

As for durability - My go to powder ski (12"-30" of fresh) to this day is a pair of 2009 Line SFB in 182cm (115 underfoot and camber). My fave ski of all time. Despite being flipped, hucked, and slammed for 6 seasons they still look really good. No edge cracks or delam etc... Here they are in use just last season!

As far as park/all mt/ "skinny skis" go, I haven't been blown away by any brand. I've rocked K2s, Line, Volkl, Liberty, Surface, Lib Tech, Rossignol, Salomon, Head, etc... The truth is, they've all been fun and destroyed after 1-2 seasons because park is rough on skis. So I don't get the 'Line doesn't hold up theory.'

No skis that get abused in the park do and it seems to me Lines All Mt/Powder skis are just as durable as any I've ever owned.

Not a huge Line hardgoods fan myself, but I do enjoy their movies and style.

I also don't understand all the made in China hate, the computer/phone you typed this post on was made in China....why can't your skis? Just because its made in China does not mean its made from inferior products...it just guarantees the builders were paid inferior wages.
