Outline

The 2022 Line 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 Sir Francis Bacon, but these are still far from a stiff ski. I only got one or two soft snow turns on these and on hard snow, they are obviously a big ski. So obviously, I didn't get to ski them at their best, but overall, they just felt a little damp/lifeless to me. You COULD flex them but they weren't super soft/playful and they didn't give a lot of energy popping out of butters. I prefer the softer more lively Sir Francis Bacon, but these are still a great powder jib option, and easily light enough to tour on too. I'd consider them a true powder ski rather than something versatile though. - Twig
