...

The Line Sir Francis Bacon skis have long been the definitive all mountain freestyle pow ski, from packed snow in tight trees to fresh snow jump sessions. At 104mm underfoot & built around a lightweight Partly Cloudy™ core, the Bacon offers a stable yet playful feel no matter what the snow condition. A constant favourite with staff & customers. ...

Line’s most popular ski, the Sir Francis Bacon has been completely redesigned for this season. Featuring a 107mm waist width paired with 3D Convex Tech tip & tail technology, the Sir Francis Bacon floats & butters through powder without sacrificing performance on groomers & blown out chop. eric Pollard has produced the best ski for all-terrain freedom. Slash through wind lips, butter over rollers, & experience the playfulness the all-new LINe Sir Francis Bacon has to offer. Developed by eric Pollard, convex contouring across the tip & tail of the ski loosen the ski feel by increasing powder snow displacement – & creating a tip & tail more inclined to plane – for an added dimension of turn shape. Working with this is early Rise, which produces just the right amount of lift in the tip & tail for smooth handling without affecting the grip or making it flappy. early Taper at the tip & tail positions the skis widest points perfectly so that there is no hooking or dragging from snow, but still leaving a long effective edge. A symmetric flex makes sure the ski feels good however it’s used, switch, regular, park or powder. The result is an intuitive ski that remains balanced whatever the conditions & ready for any terrain. As you’d expect with a ski that uses cutting-edge design, the construction doesn’t cut corners. Partly Cloudy Core uses a blend of lightweight paulownia & maple, creating the best strength to weight ratio in all the Line core options. Sidewall Construction uses an ultra-high density polyethylene over the edges to absorb vibrations & provide powerful energy transmission. To keep it durable, the Fatty Base & edge employ a 30% thicker base & edges, giving a 1.7mm thick base & 2mm wide edges that are 2.5mm high, meaning better resistance to potential damage & a longer tuning life. This is a fun ski, built to treat everything with a jibby style. It’s firm enough to lay down carves & pop from turn to turn, with the smoothness for powder & deep days. It’s also surprisingly good in the park for a 107mm width, thanks in part to the light weight & the Convex Tech tip. This new version is wider, more playful & sure to keep the popularity of Sir Francis Bacon going for a few more seasons yet, so if you ski everything & just see the mountain as 1 big playground then this is the ski you need!.

Big jumps, quad kinks, or just hot laps through the park, the Tom Wallisch Pro can perform it all with a style that’ll blow up the internet. This is the best park ski developed by the best skier in the park. A low swing weight, durable construction & a snappy feel, what’s not to like? The core uses Line’s legendary Maple Macroblock with 2 full length maple stringers surrounded by aspen for increased strength & durability. This works perfectly with the Carbon Ollieb&, pre-stretched carbon stringers running down the ski centre for added pop & play. The result is a ski with a lot of life! But you don’t want a ski like this to be over responsive, so Line use their early Rise & early Taper, reducing the weight for better manoeuvrability, as well as there being less chance of hooking or grabbing when landing. Thin Tips also help keep the weight down by using a thin core & sidewall in the tip, saving 100grams a pair for reduced swing weight. The rest of the construction is as well thought out too. The 5 Cut Sidecut uses 5 different radii blended together to create a variety of turn shapes & an intuitive feel. Freestyle skis need to be tough & a cap construction is the best option to resist edge dings & damage, but sidewalls offer more precision. The solution on TW Pro is Capwall, with sidewall underfoot where you want the precision & a cap in the tip & tail to provide the durability & weight saving. It’s not just about performance with the TW Pro, by using the Fatty Base & edge tech plus Tuff Top design, Line don’t ignore durability. The edges & base are 30% thicker than standard skis, with their 2mm wide & 2.5mm high edges plus 1.7mm thick base, dramatically increasing durability & tuning life. The textured tougher top sheet materials resist scratches & abuse for longer, protecting the look & life of the ski. Not just great skis, but tough ones too. The result is a performance park ski, that will hit any feature no matter how big or small. Stiff enough to generate power, but with the flex dialled just right so that butters & presses come easily. The light swing weight helps with spins & will have you going harder on to & off rails. It may not be wide enough to take on the fatter freestyle skis when the powder really arrives, but the quality construction ensures that it will rip round the mountain with plenty of control & response when you do take some runs outside of the park, even in freshies. Quite simply, it is the best pure freestyle ski on the market for anyone who wants a bit of extra pop & a little bit more precision. ...

The Vision 108 sits perfectly between freeride & backcountry categories, meaning it has the benefits of both: powerful all condition performance, & lightweight no compromise build. The mix of THC Construction & Partly Cloudy Core is the key. THC combines Aramid, carbon & fibreglass so there are no excess grams & vibrations are dampened for a smoother ride. The core is a mix lightweight paulownia that keeps it lively & denser maple that adds strength & stability. This is a ski that feels incredibly light, is playful & responsive & has the

Dimensions to ski any conditions no matter who deep. Mount it with alpine bindings or to really maximise the potential put a BC model on. Terrain Type & Ability Level Terrain Type 108mm waist provides plenty of float for soft snow days & fresh turns, working with the early Rise at the tip & tail & early Taper, plus the THC construction, to produce smooth turn initiation & completion. This build also inspires confidence even when the conditions aren’t great thanks to the balanced handling, meaning it is much more than just a pow ski. It’s a fully rounded freeride option, capable of skiing anything with complete confidence. Skier Type With a ski this light it’s perfect to partner up with a tour capable binding for a sweet BC set-up, but the downhill performance is so good that it’s also a great choice as a freeride ski with an alpine binding. With the more central stance & rocker at the tip & tail, it almost has the feel of a freestyle ski, & this makes it super easy to get on with. No need to be a hard-charging expert. It is going to suit skiers who prefer playful over powerful. Overview Shape It’s 108mm underfoot, shines in deeper snow but is also effective in other conditions, & has a 19.5m average radius (183cm) that also aids the versatility. Where it differs from the competition is the early Rise or rocker at the tip & tail, & the early Taper that creates long tips & tails. Plus, the fact that it is more centrally mounted & has more tail lift – almost like a twin tip. The result of this is easy handling & surfy performance in soft snow & excellent manoeuvrability for tighter spots. Rockerearly Rise at the tip & tail lift them away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the centre of the ski. This increases the ski's lift in deep snow & allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack when rolled over on edge. Core Line’s Partly Cloudy core uses stringers of paulownia & maple. The paulownia is a lively, flexible wood with excellent weight to strength ratio; the maple is a dense, hardwood with excellent power transfer & stability. This combination helps keep the weight down without sacrificing performance. Construction Sidewall uses Ultra-High Density Polyethylene vertical walls over the edges to absorb vibrations & provide powerful energy transmission. Thin Tip uses a super thin core & sidewalls in the tips & tails to reduce swing weight as well as tip & tail bounce. THC Construction ensures that the lighweight core doesn’t suffer from excess vibrations, making it an especially smooth ride compared to similarly weighted skis that often can feel rattly. Key Features THC Construction Three different composite layups (Carbon, Aramid & Fibreglass) on top of the core resonate at different frequencies to cancel out the harsh vibrations you’d normally get in such a light ski.5 Cut Multi-Radius Sidecut Five different radiuses are blended into the ski’s sidecut. The result? A wide variety of turn shapes & an intuitive feel. Thin Tip Super thin core & sidewalls in the tips are 100 grams lighter per pair for reduced swing weight & tip bounce.e B tester’s comments: Mark (Trainer) I skied a pretty tracked out bowl, on some skis I imagined could have been hard work, but that was absolutely not the case.
