Line Blade Optic 96

PULLING FROM TWO OF ITS AWARD-WINNING SKIS, Line has developed a radical, new way to approach freeride ski construction with the new Line Blade Optic 96. Combining the freeride capabilities of the Vision with the power of the Blade’s “Gas Pedal Metal” construction, the new Blade Optic can slice, dice and serve up an entire day of frontside dominance. The Blade Optic 96 is the narrowest ski in the brand-new category that features Titanal across the width of the ski for better edge hold and torsional stability when you’re hitting mach speed in blown up chunder. “Holy shit did it hold up to the hype,” says tester Christian Johansen. “Unbelievably stable at high speeds, absolutely blasted through chunder and super responsive with very little input.” Those pining for a freeride ski with guts, the Line Blade Optic 96 will
completely change the way you look at the mountain.
