Line’s Blend brings all of the same “freestyle/freeride” impact that made it beloved by all-mountain park enthusiasts in years past. This is for tricksters that also like to take the action where they can find it outside the park.
The Blend specifically approaches the problem by emphasizing park performance while giving you something to work with on the rest of the hill.
The Blend lands somewhere in the middle of buttery and burly, making them a notably versatile option for those with a deep repository of park tricks.
They balance bendability with a low swing weight and reasonable support on landing, but for that reason you probably want to avoid flying too high unless you’re confident in your ability to land soundly and consistently.
Notable Features
Symmetric Flex: The fore and aft sections of the ski have the same flex pattern for a more predictable ride regardless of which end is pointed downhill.
5-Cut: Multiple-radius sidecut allows skiers to more easily make a variety of different turn shapes.
Carbon Olliband: Carbon stringers running the length of the ski add pop and rebound
