ERIC POLLARD PRO MODELS



Mr. Pollard’s Opus (New)
118mm underfoot, 17.2 meter sidecut radius in 185cm length.
Available in 178, 185cm.
Designed for 80% powder with tip and tail early rise.



Sir Francis Bacon (100% redesigned)
108mm underfoot, 17.7 meter sidecut in 184cm length.
Available in 172, 178, 184cm.
Almost ever parameter has been changed for this year. It’s a new ski with early rise tip and tail as well as super-thin tips. Symmetric flex makes this ski suitable for 50% powder, 40% all mountain and 10% park.



Sir Francis Bacon Shorty
107mm underfoot, 14 meter sidecut in 155cm length.
Available in 145 and 155cm.
A real powder ski for “in betweeners.”

 

ALL-TERRAIN FREESTYLE

These three models (as well as the Eric Pollard Pro models above) feature a shape called G-Cut. It is a 5-radius sidecut with the tightest radius in the tail. Line says that reduces hook-up at initiation but increases power at the turn exit. All skis in this collection have symmetrical flex so they behave the same riding forward or switch.



Blend
100mm underfoot, 19.8 meter sidecut in 178cm length.
Available in 168, 173, 178, 183cm.
Tip and tail early rise is new this year as well as softer symmetric flex. It’s a blend of freeride geometry and freestyle construction.



Chronic Cryptonite
92mm underfoot, 18.5 meter sidecut in 178cm length.
Available in 163, 173, 178, 183cm .



Mastermind
85mm underfoot, 18.5 meter sidecut in 177cm length.
Available in 147, 157, 167, 177cm.
Line calls Mastermind a value-oriented ski to take your skills to the next level.

 

PARK AND PIPE

Instead of traditional wood core construction, these models use 7 layers of maple veneer just like a skateboard deck as the whole ski. No topsheet, sidewalls blah blah blah.

Besides the Maple veneer skate deck construction, some skis use traditional wood lamination that Line calls Macroblock. And some, such as Afterbang have an additional Carbon Olliband reinforcement.

What is a Carbon Ollieband you say? Line has taken “pop” to extremes with pre-stretched carbon fiber stringers that not only reduce weight but make these skis the most energetic on the mountain. Ollies will never be the same. Another park specific feature is deliberate thinning of key areas to make a distinct hinge point in the flex profile. That promotes smooth and controllable nose/tail presses and buttering.



Stepup (100% redesigned)
86mm underfoot, 20.6 meter sidecut in 181cm length.
Available in 166, 177, 176, 181cm.
Line calls this model the only one on earth able to conquer the biggest features on earth!



Afterbang
88mm underfoot, 18 meter sidecut in 177cm length.
Available in 155, 166, 177, 184cm.
7-ply Maple veneer core and Carbon Ollieband beef up for 80% park use.




Afterbang Shorty

Available in 133cm and 144cm.
A short ski made specifically for smaller riders.

105mm underfoot, 18.6 meter sidecut radius in 179cm length.
