Line Blade Optic

Honestly so hyped for this ski. The vision 108 is the best touring ski ever and frankly I just want it +500grams as my inbounds ski. Looks like line answered.

No but really it just hits the perfect balance for me between stability and playfulness. There are skis that are way more stable, and there are skis that are way more playful, this one just felt really good from the jump.
 
Skied the 104 on Wednesday and came away thoroughly impressed. [tag=137655]@LINEenginerd[/tag] you guys crushed it with this thing. So fun, so stable, thing was laying TRENCHES in the groomers.

On another note, also skied the new Dispatch 101. [tag=154780]@tomPietrowski[/tag] the thing is a bat out of hell. Long turn radius was a bit of a turn off for me until I skied it. It’s ridiculously stable, and it makes some kick ass turns too. I’m definitely gonna grab one and put a 50/50 binding on it. Tons of fun new stuff coming out for 22/23, stoked! Oh and you and [tag=109505]@bradwalters[/tag] fucking killed the Fl3X boots, already bugging my rep for a sample
 
Line is a broke boi brand. Why wouldn't you get Black Crows or Blizzard or Movement for a solid, damp all mountain ski that rips

Cause Black Crows is for kooks and the Line Prodeal is unbeatable.
 
Glad you like them! I think they are the perfect ski for people who are looking for a freestyle feel in a hard charging platform. Very stoked how they came out.

Congrats on demonstrating a complete lack of knowledge of the global ski market! You have earned yourself one L.

Their graphics are a sin that cannot be forgiven. Which sucks cuz this is otherwise a badass sounding ski.

Honestly cool graphics are cool for a minute, but I would way rather have a sweet ski with a bad graphic, than a cool graphic on a shit ski. Tools not jewels

Sure. I own plenty of skis I don't care much for the topsheets. But if say, I was going to choose either this or the competing nordica enforcer unleashed, I'd choose the ski that didn't look like a 2008 rental ski.
 
Def will be waiting for next years graphics (and probably until end of season sales) to buy this one. That graphic is unforgivable. Which is a shame cause the black OG vision is nice

I skied both skis, and they’re both good, I’m sure plenty will follow suit and go with the Nordica’s. As far as I’m concerned line can have my whole damn paycheck, this ski is the best ski I’ve been on in the past 10 years since I started skiing. Also not that anybody cares but the lime green base of the skis look super super sick.

Can you compare/contrast them a little?

The nordica is like they took an enforcer and made it a twin, the line is like they took the vision and added more heft. The nordica felt a lot less playful, and maybe that’s just because of the fact I’m used to the vision shape and profile, but it felt a lot more freestyle first, that can also charge versus the nordica feeling like a charge first, play second ski. The way I ski, I want to destroy the mountain, while hopping off every side hit, cat track, and mogul in the way, landing switch, always going for grabs. The Line just felt more intuitive
