The catalyst behind Line’s creation & their mission still today is the simple concept that a skier needs innovative product to progress their riding & the sport.  Line skis have been around since 1995, so are considered relatively new to the sport, but they were the ones that revolutionised the skiing industry & their input & design has led to the fat, powder skis that you see around resort today with their large sidecuts & twin tip design allowing skiers to really push the boundaries of where skiing can go. Although Line skis were initially known as the leaders in the freestyle park scene, they have not been timid about bringing creativity & ingenuity to the big mountain scene.  Since creating the ‘ Mothership’ by gluing two ski cores together & using snowboard width materials in the early 2000’s Line have expanded their focus on creating some of the most progressive big mountain & powder skis that today win top awards by even the most conservative of ski magazines.

The Line Celebrity range has been narrowed down this year with the Soulmate taking on the 90+ widths, leaving the Celebrity on its own with an 85mm waist.  This is similar to the soulmates, but much lighter & does not have the metal matrix, so is not quite as stiff.  This makes it ridiculously light & very manoeuvrable & would suit intermediate riders who are looking for a great ski to progress on, especially if you want to start getting into the off piste.

From Eric Pollards brain comes an impossibly light powder ski with futuristic materials with over 15 years of powder ski development behind it. The goal of the magnum Opus was to create a ski that had the same all-mountain performance as the Opus, but with increased float. “I approached the design with a few ideas on how to accomplish that; larger waist width, longer length, & a new tip outline & profile.” Eric Pollard is skiing’s most respected pioneer for bringing super smooth, stylish freestyle tricks into the powder. The Opus is the culmination of over a decade & a half of his progressive skiing experience combined with hundreds of twin tip powder ski prototypes to create a ski that floats effortlessly forwards & backwards in the powder, yet maintains incredible edge grip on firm snow like no other in its class. The Opus is as ahead of its time, like Eric Pollard himself. Enjoy!   FEATURES & BENEFITS EARLY RISE™ The rise in the tip starts earlier for effortlessly staying on top of the snow without needing to sit back. SIDEWALL P-Tex plastic walls over the edges absorbs vibrations for a smooth & solid feel. EARLY TAPER™ The widest point of sidecut starts tapering earlier in the tip to reduce tail drag & hooking in powder. CLOUD CORE Futuristically blende wood & composite materials create an impossibly lightweight & solid core. SYMMETRIC FLEX™ The same ski flex in-front & behind your boot conforms to terrain for equally performance riding forward & backwards. FIVECUT™ 5 different sizes of sidecut radius shapes are blended into one, for intuitive control & unlimited turn shapes. TIGERSNAKE™ An electrical conduit is woven into the core with control knobs on top, so the ski can become aggressive like a tiger, while maintaining natural flex.. . like a snake!

The magnum opus gives you that little more float as its slightly wider but its lighter cloud core keeps it nimble & playful as every line ski should be, yet another quality ski from the line range, go shred… IS IT FOR ME? For the big mountain freeride skier looking for the ultimate in powder float. This ski is unbelievably light but the performance you still get from it is unreal.   &nb
