steezytangerineThose don’t look as much like what I saw but could be cause if all the stickers
Voyage86how many years out do these companies have planned for their skis? is it just one season ahead? or do they already know what the 2026 line up will look like?
CatdickBojanglesYou didn’t see the real ones then
steezytangerineI think that guy is right, but you cant even see the "TW" in the first photo. I don't have any proof of my sighting but I could see the TW pretty clearly. if your right then whats to say these aren't tw pros for next season either?
WittyCongI believe that's the blue version of lines prototype graphic they use to test new skis before release
steezytangerinethats even cooler, theres supposed to be more durable this next year right? I've never ridden TW's but i've head that they are bad quality, but are going to improve

ZurgCorrect on the prototype. I had a chat with Alex Koford when I saw him on them at PC. He said that they have been redesigning the construction, playing with flex and a whole number of things.
I also talked to Mitchell Brower because he was on a similar prototype topsheet. It was the black and yellow one (I've also seen Will on them). They have been trying different sidewalls on those.
It is always encouraging when companies try to make their product better.

WittyCongI'm not sure. Line's quality has been shit these last few years. Many threads on here discussing line's durability and delaming issues. Sucks, Pre-2015 line was peak. I've definitely moved away from larger brands in recent years. I've noticed substantially better quality out of smaller independent brands than mass produced skis.

Voyage86who do you recommend?

tomPietrowskiWait until you guys see the boots to go with the skis! Possibly the best looking FullTilt/FL3X boot in a lot of years
Nuno812Color me excited. Have an old pair of first chairs that are almost ready to be replaced. Bummed the only way to get the boot I want (ft soul shell and wrap liner) is the TW boot. Why did you guys move away from the wrap liner on most offerings?
steezytangerineline always seems to have their skis designed and in this case made pretty early on. someone above here dropped a photo from tw instagram and looked like the boots were still this seasons. K2 fl3x designs always been later released

steezytangerineYo they are next years boots cause if thats the back of the boot right there this years doesn't have black with yellow strap anywhere
CatdickBojanglesI mean he only designs them. I doubt he would have access to them.

SlowbroI started skiing park in 2008 and line already had a bad rep for durability then.

olicWeird, I was around then too and in my experience the skis were solid, I still have some perfectly functional 2010 Anthems and 2014 Chronics, took 3 years of heavy park abuse to break my '08 invaders.
I don't think a single person I knew on Lines (other than the Afterbangs) broke theirs, until the quality issues that started a few years back anyway.

WittyCongEVO posted the pics today of the new K2 boot line up. Love the way these came out
MidwestIzBestI have had 3 different pairs of Lines the last few years and the TW are the only ones I had issue with. I loved riding them but I broke them in about 6 weeks of riding. The core itself cracked and the base/edges were basically holding the ski together.
Last year's Chronics however are probably my favorite ski of all time. I rode them all season last year and have used them all season this year with no issue. I ride Elm Creek/Hyland Hills Minnesota so they take a beating.
My old Blends lasted me a full season without breaking any breakage either.
It's feeling like it might be TW model specific. I might by another pair of last years Chronics just because I love them so much for when my current skis break.
