Newschoolers' Quick Review: The Blends are decently light for the size, have a low swingweight and are super soft in the tips and tails. They aren't that poppy but they are easy to ollie thanks to that super soft flex. If you like really soft skis, like to play around in the park and all over the hill at less than ma…
Newschoolers' Quick Review: The new Chronic is a pretty major departure from previous years. The Chronic has always been the flagship park ski for Line, but the new model sits more in the 'narrow all-mountain ski but still park capable' market space. The short radius and low swingweight combine to make these super quic…
Newschoolers' Quick Review: In terms of value, these skis are right up there. They will work incredibly well for some but not for others. I couldn’t personally ski these as my daily park driver because on an average day I tend to rail around the mountain, ski some cruddy bump runs and high speed all mountain j…
Manufacturer's Description: Simple and sweet without any extraneous BS, the LINE Honey Bee takes design notes from the Honey Badger. This simplistic killer packs all you need for park skiing - right down to the Fatty Base and edge. Because women's skiing needs a future, too.
Newschoolers' Quick Review: The Outline is extremely surfy feeling thanks to the convex tips and tails and ample rocker, while still having a long effective edge courtesy of minimal taper. For a ski this big, it carves really nicely, with cues clearly taken from the Pescado. The flex is significantly stiffer than the …
Manufacturer's Description: The award-winning LINE Pandora 104 is back again. With the same Magic Finger Carbon Filaments that harmonize with the Aspenlite core for a stable, lightweight ride, the Pandora 104 is for those deep days. Nimble, quick, and unsinkable, the Pandora 104 offers a women's specific big-mountain…
Manufacturer's Description: The Pandora 94 from LINE defines all-mountain capacity. Quick edge-to-edge and surfy through the backend of turns, the Pandora 94 is the one freak of a ski you need– no matter the conditions. Backed by the Magic Finger Carbon Filaments, these skis offer an unmatched weight-to-perform…
Manufacturer's Description: With its swallowtail design and massive forebody, the LINE Pescado is Eric Pollard's definitive pow surf ski. A directional stance attuned for responsive powder skiing, and the playful feel you'd expect from an EP shape.
Newschoolers' Quick Review: I love the Sakana. At ski tests I always make sure I get at least a few runs on these because they make me smile so much. If you want something to go rip some piste turns on, that you can also ski pow with... if you've always envied snowboarders their 'fun shapes' then these are the skis fo…
Manufacturer's Description: For slithering through trees, brappin' high-speed windbuff, and droppin' freaks on the traverse track back to the lift, look no further than the Sick Day 104. Magic Finger Carbon Filaments combine with a lightweight Aspen Core to create a nimble yet stable ski primed for what ever you can …
Manufacturer's Description: Pure diesel, baby, keep it pinned and let 'em run. These skis are a hundy p, buddy. That's 100% for all you non-Canadians. The Sick Day 114 features Magic Finger Carbon Filaments, a fluid Early Rise profile, and enough taper to break the tails loose when you're in over your head.
Newschoolers' Quick Review: The Sir Francis Bacon is BACK! Don't get me wrong, I liked the version of this ski that ran from 2015-2018 but it wasn't a true SFB, and this new ski most certainly is. Soft in the tips/tails (not Blend soft but softer than most) and with convex tips, these are butter/surf machines. They …
Newschoolers' Review: "I love this ski. I've been in the park since around 2000 and I can honestly say these are one of, if not the, best park skis I have ever used. They make doing things in the park easier, and because of that they give you a feeling that you can try more. And partly because of the ski, you can ge…
Manufacturer's Description: Introducing the ski you wish you had yesterday. The one freeride ski that can slap down pillow stacks one day and explore far out zones the next. Forged out of THC Construction, the Vision 108 reimagines what's possible for lightweight freeride skis. Stable at speeds, light in the air, a…
Manufacturer's Description: The Vision 98 shares the same build and featherweight feel as the Vision 108– straight down to the THC Construction. It'll rally blown snow, arc on groomers, and even motor skin tracks if that's your thing. But the shrunken footprint offers a versatility for those days that you don't n…
