LINE Skis 2024⧸2025 Concept Collection - Open a New World of Possibilities

What's up guys, Johnny Merrill here to talk to you a little bit about the Line Skis Concept Collection. Concept Collection gives people the ability to think outside the box, ski in a unique way, and really focus on finding flow out there in the mountains. You know, skiing different, doing things differently, being weird. If you want to ski that's like the ultimate carving machine, then look at the Blade. If you want to ski that's the ultimate powder machine, look at the Biscotto. Really unique feel in the park, then take a look at the Sakuna. This is the Line Sakuna. The Line Sakuna. The Sakunas are pretty sick. These are like the snowboard of skis, I feel like. Closest thing to snowboarding you can feel like while still being on skis. It's been really cool to translate some of the feelings you can achieve on a snowboard or a pow surf or a surfboard into some of these ski shapes. Compared to a lot of the skis in the lineup, it has a very pampered tail, so when you're finishing a turn you actually have like a very solid ripping carving stick underfoot. Dude, yeah, you can rip turns just like snappy, flowy, sick turns. Carves like no other. Laying down like all... And then it goes like this. It's sick. Super good. Yeah, I'm hitting rails, I'm hitting jumps. You can take off switch on them for sure as well, and landing switch is no big deal. There's definitely enough twin tip as well to do that. It holds up great with the stiff tail. It definitely like when you're landing forward especially, like you have a lot of stability landing. I do any jump trick on these things. They're awesome. They're really good at doing butters and swerving. It's just this big, huge, wide tip is so forgiving for doing presses and sliding sideways and stuff like that. When I started skiing them, I started doing a lot of stuff I had no idea I could do, and I had no idea that was even possible, and this is just like a very creative ski. It is a full different approach at skiing than like the normal twin tip. This is my go-to ski now. I basically ride this ski every day. Pretty much my go-to ski if I'm planning on going skiing and just having fun. It's so fun in the spring. I love skiing it with no poles and touching the ground and carving and doing butters. It's kind of perfect. I love it to death. Right now my favorite ski in the Concept Collection is the Piscato, probably mostly because I'm out there looking for powder all the time. The Piscato provides an incredibly unique feel in the powder. Tons of float up front. The Swallowtail really does keep you balanced and planted. You don't have to ski in a weird way in the powder to make it work. You don't have to lean back in a weird way. You can be over your boots, push and slash and carve and feel the snow in a way where you're not changing your skiing to be in the powder. It's just a powder machine. It's epic. The Line Blade. So yeah, this ski has a really cool feel because of the tight turn radius. Line Blade has the gas pedal metal. Metal laminate allows the ski to really charge through anything that you're going to encounter. Some deeper slush or some chunder and some firm groomers as well to give you the extra power. You can size down a little bit from your usual park ski to take advantage of like the tightest turn radius you can have. For the people that maybe want to make park skiing a little different from what everyone else is doing. Concept Collection allows Line and the designers to pursue these niche feelings that are felt on snow. That ski that's going to provide a really unique feel. Do something different. Something unique to that ski that another ski won't be able to do. So the fact that Line Skis is willing to lean into the unique fringe aspects of the industry. It's insane. At the end of the day, I'm just out there trying to have fun on snow. Trying to find flow. Nice chatting with y'all. Johnny Merrill and I'm heading to New Zealand to do some testing for the Concept Collection. So we'll catch you guys later.
