Blade Optic 92 - Review 2025

As budget-conscious skiers everywhere mourn the retirement of the longstanding Sick Day series, Line went back to the lab and spliced together two of their best selling models to fill the void. The Blade Optic collection takes notes from the ultra-stable, snow-slicing Blade while capturing the freeride spirit found in the Vision series.

We chose the Blade Optic 92 because it fills the same niche as the aforementioned Sick Day series. It’s the only model out of the new lineup without any metal in its build, making it the lightest, most maneuverable, and the most affordable out of the series.

The Blade Optic 92 has big shoes to fill, but we think that it hits on all of the points we loved about the Sick Day- and some more.

Given its low weight, forgiving ride, and reasonable performance on variable now- we think this model, and the series overall, holds appeal for a wide variety of skiers. It’s a great starting point for riders branching out into the all-mountain category, as well as veteran skiers in search of a playful, freestyle oriented model.
