BigPurpleSkiSuitAdmire the outreach, but I have also heard rough stuff about durability, I also don't primarily ski park.
Crust_StationOutreach like this is actually a good step forward, but really the quality of Line Skis has dropped so far, I had a pair of Chronics that lasted me less than a quarter of the season, its hard to drop bank on park skis that dont hold up to all mountain riding, let alone light park skiing. Every time I clicked into them, another piece of them fell off until I lost literally all of the sidewall on one of them. Hopefully quality gets addressed soon but I wont be buying line skis again for a long time. First impressions are important.
Line_Skison top of building focusing on building durable products (fattest base and edge you can spec on a ski, for example).
Line_SkisTotally get the frustration -- but specifically regarding the chronic, we see really low warranty claim numbers on the ski. We put a lot into ensuring the skis we bring to market pass insane quality control parameters -- on top of building focusing on building durable products (fattest base and edge you can spec on a ski, for example). Bummed to hear you had a bad experience. Park skiing can be super rugged on product, as well all know. But we're pretty confident in our gear; we even upped our warranty to two years.
But if you guys have any more questions, gimme a shout directly (will@lineskis.com). We do what we can to keep ya hyped, because we're just a bunch of greasy ski rats at the end of the day, too.
skiermanHow come your skis are not as cool as Jskis?

MalczykBecause the bunch and Joey Ciprari aren't on them.
Profahoben_212props to you guys for commenting but pretty sure this isnt true. you use 2.0x2.5 mm edge right? and a 1.7mm base? not the thickest on the market
skiermanIncredible point. We all saw what happened to Revision when they decided to sponsor "The Bunch"; they committed suicide after fucking over hundreds of young, impressionable "The Bunch" fanboys. Now that I think about it, Revision is the best ski brand to ever exist.
Profahoben_212a 1.7mm base? not the thickest on the market
RudyGarmischAnd materials available to the ski industry is all based on demand. Every ski company is still usually just a sliver out of what a material supplier produces annually. Larger edge and base combos would be available; if skiers, and the companies they complain to, demand it.
Line_Skis2.2x2.5m edges. There are only a few steel manufacturers supplying ski manufacturers, and this is the thickest steel we can spec. If we took the average width of the steel at the minimum cross-section, we could claim 2.5x2.5; but it seems to be a bit of a stretch -- and somewhat misleading.
Additionally, the 1.7 base spec compliments the edge thickness through the seating process. This is what we need to get the best bonding surface with our construction and edge choice (other skis use thinner edges, and as such, thinner base materials). This spec is accomplished by the supplier through sanding down the p-tex. Often times, the Ptex will arrive at 1.8mm (keep in mind .1mm is about as thick as a sheet of paper), but we've got to accommodate for the finishing process. All skis are sanded and ground to achieve a flat base; and if you have to spend a lot of time finishing a ski, you'll start shedding base material. So when we pull a ski out of a mold, and it goes to the finishing room, we assume we'll shed a touch of base material.
Anyway, that's about all I've got. We build skis we want to ski. Because we like skiing. Like a lot. Like A LOT A LOT. We also support skiers that are doing good by the sport itself. Because this sh*t is what we live for. Again, you can email me if you've got any more specific questions (will@lineskis.com) or give us a shout if you're in Seattle on a weekend and wanna shred.

Yeah....I don't know what you're going for there, but I'm not gonna squabble with ya, Scott.
LoudeeCan't say anything about other Line products except for the Tigersnakes. Horrible skis. They were advertised towards beginner park riders. I started riding park this year and never hit big jumps or rail anything. I managed to break 2 pairs in under 3 months, with the same problem both times. In the end i had to cash out an extra $170 to upgrade my ski from Line. Even though they are cheap, please don't advertise them as something that they aren't. It's misleading for people that would like to get into park and can't afford to spew out $420 for a new pair every month.

kirbstopperYou guys dont make a single ski that can handle speeds for agressive riders. Even your sick day lineups tips fold in 3d snow. Mordecai and opus are borderline unskiable at speed, unless your maybe 120lbs. To me its a gimmicky company that make skis for fanboys not proper skiers.
