LINE Skis 2024⧸2025 Optic Skis Collection - Experience Freeride Through a New Lens

Hi, I'm Rachel. Howdy, my name's Morgz. What's going on guys? My name's Jake Hopfinger. I am Ben Richards. I'm Dylan Siggers and I have a gambling problem. This is the Line Optic, formerly known as the Blade Optic. The Line Optic. No, you need the tag. Definitely run the tag. We have the most hooniest sledneckers in all the Line team together and we're riding the **** out of the Line Optic this trip. It's kind of a one-of-a-kind freeride ski. It's a metal laminate freestyle freeride ski where it's burly enough and sick enough to go mock Chanel down a spine in Alaska like Jake Hopfinger or you can catch three feet of air and do some sort of butter move to switch. This ski's got a pretty unique feel because it's got your gas pedal metal which keeps it super stable at speeds but yet it's kind of forgiving and it's got this weird like jibby fun feeling that I think is super unique for a metal laminate freeride ski. So just because there's metal in it doesn't make it scary, it makes it better for using. The gas pedal metal is just so good for dampening those **** vibrations of the ice and the snow. They just go and it's the ****. It is so **** dope and that's what Line is so good at doing is making skis that are fun to use. They're not just meant to kick your **** if you can't handle it. I like to do stunts and feel supported but also have a playful ski for doing butters, switch landings, switch turns, stuff like that. For somebody like me and Morgz over here we need to be able to go backwards when we're skiing powder because it's just so much fun. They land, switch really good, that's usually what I try to do. The Optic actually has enough twin tip to do that which is amazing. Yo what up, my name is Optic Mike. Will you be using my name? Yes I've been moving Line products in the streets for the past nine years. I'll say most of my customers come at me looking for a good metal ski with tip and tail rocker. I got the 88, 96, 104 and the 114 so it's just way too easy to move these Line Optics. The Line Optic comes in four sizes, 88, 96, 104 and a 114. The Optic 88 is new this year, it is great for high speed, fast carving, east coast skiing, etc dot dot, oh sorry. There's a new edition of the lineup this year, it's called the Optic 88. If you're living somewhere where you don't get a ton of snow, you want to rip on icy hard pack, that thing kicks ass. Rip some of the groomers a little bit harder. 96 is a great ski, has a little more camber under foot making it hold a super solid edge and track through hard pack and ice and chunder. On occasion in conditions like we get back in New Zealand, where it's kind of firm but you still want to ski some free ride stuff, we'll take out the 104, banging the resort all the way onto like skiing big mountain lines to building little jumps. The 114 is definitely better for those bigger deeper days. Skiing on the world tour, Optic 114 is my go-to every time. For that you really want a ski that's going to handle some pretty average conditions, some high speed riding, but also really got to have that like that jibby sort of fun feel so you can trick it in the air and stuff like that. The color is the most important thing about the ski, this one is black. All new graphic, this is actually my favorite, looks super buzzy when you're riding it. Bases also great. Grandpappy always told me when you go out in the backcountry, keep some metal handy. It's such a nice stable ski if you need some stability in your life, doesn't matter if you're having problems at home or in the office, you just need some metal in your skis and you're good to go. I ride the 186 Optic 114. I'm 5'7", it's definitely like a bigger gnarlier ski for me but so sick to have something that's this stable and this big to go fast. I actually love the 178 for jibbing around, it's got a bit of a tighter turning radius, it's a little more forgiving but mostly I'm on the 86. This one isn't a 192, my personal favorite. It is long, stiff, goes super fast. Sometimes I like to compare this ski to a Dodge Cummins turbo diesel pickup truck. Powerful, cold rolling, reliable and sweet. I wish I had a black truck but the black skis are gonna have to do. This ski is actually my favorite ski. I literally just ski way better when I'm using it. I like don't fall as much, I can go faster and I'm not scared. Basically my everyday ski. Basically my go-to ski no matter the conditions. Which makes this ski by lines so good because you can use it for whatever you want and it's just a reliable, stable, damp, free ride, freestyle, murder stick. Yeah, go get some. It's the sickest ski ever made and I stand by that.
