Concept: Wide skis are better for riding in soft snow but obviously everyday isn’t a powder day. We set out to create a wide ski that would not only float but also carve the hard pack with the agility normally only found on narrower all-mountain skis.
Art: We set out to find artwork that represented the soulful, yet incredibly natural power of these skis. We went back 133 YEARS and actually purchased an original Japanese rice paper scroll painted by Unzen Hattori in the summer of 1876. We added the LINE logo and it was complete.
Engineering: We created a very unique freeride specific technology that enables a wide ski to perform with the agility, precision and responsiveness of a narrow ski. The Metal Matrix is a Die cut Titanal laminate that places more power where you need it, and reduces weight where you don’t. The result is an incredibly light weight, super agile, quick on your feet carving ski feel on the groomed, while maintaining all of the extreme high speed, big-mtn stability. We also utilized a directional flex, and P-Cut geometry for directional edge to edge precision and comfort that is second to none.
