You’ve never liked Line skis. You wear a belt and hitch your pants high enough that your underwear doesn’t show and your cuffs don’t turn to shreds under your heels . . . Hey, times are changing and the new Line Skis Optic 114 Skis are built just for you, the guy who rips clean turns from the cornice at speed and still has enough left in the tank to air out that rock line with room to spare. If anything, the Optic (the Blade moniker is history), is on the demanding side of the freeride performance spectrum, with an Aspen Veneer and Titanal build and a solidity underfoot that must be skied to be believed. Don’t just take our word for it, try the Optic 114 and come away a convert.
