Much of Line's...err... lineup remains the same for 2018 (pretty sure we do that shitty pun yearly). However, there are some headline stories, the most relevant of which is a complete redesign of The Chronic with a new flex pattern, some early taper and a wider footprint aimed at turning it into more of an all-mountain ripper. The TigerSnake has been discontinued, with the Honey Badger now occupying the price-point park ski role exclusively. In the Eric Pollard series, there is skinnier, stiffer (carbon flax tape reinforced) version of the Pescado called the Sakana. Lastly, inspired by the skiing of Hadley Hammer is a new and improved Pandora collection- All Mountain sticks for the lady rippers out there. The Pandora comes in three models, a 104, 94, and 84.

[b]The Chronic[/b]
Introduced in the early 2000's, the Chronic has been a staple in park skiing. Known for its stiff flex, and being an all-around burly all mountain ski, the Chronic was a top choice of skiers such as LJ Strenio pushing the limits of freesking. But all skiers evolve, and therefore all skis must evolve with us. The new 2018 Chronic is lighter, snappier, and more engaging. Early taper, a wider footprint, and new flex pattern make this ski perfect for those looking to rip all over the mountain.

[b]The Honey Badger
[/b]The Honey Badger is a flexible, lightweight, playful option for those looking to spend a majority of their time in the park. Rail skiers such as Khai Krepela love its Aspen Core and light swing weight for progressive jib tricks.
[b]Honey Bee[/b]
The Honey Bee is a women's specific park ski and is known for being playful for jibbing, yet stable enough to stomp jump tricks. With an Aspenlite™ core and light swing weight, the Honey Bee skis are a great option for both beginner and advanced lady rippers.
[b]The Blend
[/b]The Blend remains the go-to for Line athletes as a soft-flex jib ski. This year it features Tuff Top, which was designed as a more durable top sheet. There's a reason the Blend hasn't changed much over the years- the athletes simply love it the way it is. [i]"The Blend is my all-around favorite park ski, all mountain ski, urban ski, backyard setup ski, a little bit of everything- just like its name. It's ready for anything."[/i] - Will Wesson
[b]The Tom Wallisch Pro
[/b]The Tom Wallisch Pro is designed to remain stable for whatever you throw at it- urban rails, massive park jumps, and whatever other large features you come across. No corners are cut when it comes to durabilty on the TW Pro- Fatty™ capwall, base, and edge construction leave this high-performance ski one of the most reliable options out there.
[img]910669[/img][b]The Eric Pollard Collection
[/b]The Eric Pollard Collection features five skis, which can be split up into two categories- twin/symmetrical, and swallowtail/directional. New for 2018 is the [b]Sakana[/b], an all mountain, 105mm waist, directional swallowtail ski. The [b]Pescado [/b]returns as a soft, directional, 125mm waisted, swallowtail powder ski experience.
The rest of the line is known for being some of the surfiest all mountain skis on the market. The [b]Magnum Opus[/b], with a 124cm waist, is perfect for the jibby powder skier who likes to surf the powder, land switch, and is going to see a lot of deep days over the course of a season. The [b]Mordecai[/b] with a 114cm waist, remains a surfy powder ski but is the most stable of the three in choppier conditions. Lastly, the [b]Sir Francis Bacon[/b] comes in a 104mm waist and is a playful ski designed for variable conditions. Their narrow edges aren't great for park durabily, but the Bacon is a great option for the skier looking to play around on the whole mountain while occasionally dabbling in the park.
