21/22 and LINE Skis + Our triumphant return to NS? Ask away!

I get that that makes sense. Personally I like how the tip isn’t so wild so I can actually push through it for doin freestyle stuff. I’m pretty light on my tips when I turn tho I think. But good feedback none the less.

In regards to the blade, You guys almost made the best all mountain carver to ever exist, too bad it’s a noodle in my opinion. I think It’s especially too soft in the tip, makes the ski chatter out when you get really forward initiating a turn. It just makes the ski really unsatisfying to get forward on and really rip down some steep groomer or just a roll over. I would love to see a “blade pro” or something like that in the future with a ton more stiffness from the core and maybe even some thicker metal. Do you guys ever see line making a beefed up blade to be in the lineup along with the normal blade? I get why you made the ski how it is tho, it’s probably perfect for the weekend warrior dads and a majority of ski consumers but it just really couldn’t hold up to how I want to pressure the ski. However, I think the shape of the ski is absolutely fucking perfect. I love the feel of the tail in particular, how it hooks up when the ski is in a turn but it still skis switch well and can slash. That’s why I was so disappointed by the flex pattern, because the shape is spot on. Almost the best ski ever... but not

I’ve ran mine on a few half pow days. They’re so thin underfoot so they don’t float like a set of outlines obviously. But the tip is massive, definitely doesn’t dive. They’re proooobably the best slalom ski for powder out there. If you ski mostly icy shit but the odd snow fall these will be totally good. They’re wild little sticks tho that’s forsure.

[tag=30985]@Line_Skis[/tag] , was curious as to how the Blades performed in light to mild powder? Didn't find many reviews on that, but thinking the blade would be an all-around go-to ski for the resort skier in the lower Midwest that rarely sees the deep pow out west. I picked a pair at the end of last season and haven't been on them yet. Hoping they can make for a fun powder ski; at least for me here in MI. Bad Ass ski btw, just cannot verify that from experience, but they look amazing waiting on snow.

Ugh can you imagine that would be so dope

You’re starting to describe a Stöckli or Völkl lol

2. Where are your products sourced and produced? Where are you sourcing materials and is this sustainable? Where are your skis produced and what are you doing to ensure you are providing livable and sustainable jobs and careers?

They will obviously skirt around these questions if they can, but the answer is China. They will have no idea exactly where the wood or other materials are coming from, so they have no idea how sustainable the materials are. The workers are likely being paid a livable wage by Chinese standards (like $15,000/year), but they likely have no control over this since I would bet they don't actually own the factory or employ the workers directly.

Gilson Skis enter's the chat ? Traded your LINE's for Gilson huh? ? hehe just JOSHIN "no pun intended" LOL. Threads already answering this I see, part they're missing is all prototyping/development/testing is done in Seattle!

Let's link and small talk it up at Round Top sometime this winter ?

Yeah it's been nice having something last longer than a week ?

Are you doing social for Full Tilt too? I seem to recall that might be an issue for ya....?

Not really cuz those companies have boring ass ski shapes. However, If there was a ski with the core of a volkl mantra and the shape of the blade I would be in love
