The Sick Day is a ski that gives back whatever you put into it. Which sounds like a copout, but really just speaks to the versatility of this well-rounded tool. With a more traditional mount point and a more traditional attitude than most Line skis, there’s a Sick Day out there for any skier, but the 104 is our pick for the most well-rounded Line skis.
The Sick Day splits the difference in terms of stiffness. It doesn’t have as much driving power as you’d think an “all-mountain” ski would, but Line is great at selling what some would consider faults as features. It doesn’t ski like a charger because they want to evoke a more inventive and playful style of skiing as opposed to bulldozing everything in your path.
It’s a ski with a wide range of appeal for its versatility and practicality. It can be used reasonably for nearly any discipline of alpine skiing, and is light enough to do some touring in. In terms of options for a single ski season, the Sick Day 104 by Line Skis can get any job done with reasonable performance benefits.
