    Intro
    Line's freestyle vocation comes out again in this skimo ski, giving it its distinctive character that sets it apart from the competition. It's constructed mainly of Paulownia wood inside fiberglass, carbon fiber and aramid to minimize vibration. Loads of tip and tail rocker for a very new-school ski, including its central bindings (although this doesn't make switchbacks on the ascent any easier). It's great fun in powder and spring snow, where it comes natural to slash and play with this ski's pop, but you need to be a bit more careful on hard terrain.
