Line Skis
ERIC POLLARD PRO MODELS
EP Pro
127mm underfoot, 15.9 meter sidecut in the only length available — 182cm.
This is Eric Pollard’s personal vision of what the most progressive freestyle-specific powder ski should be. No reverse camber but tip has an early rise starting 45cm back. An early taper shape moves the widest part of tip and tail back slightly to reduce catching in the gnarl.
Sir Francis Bacon
115mm underfoot, 18 meter sidecut in 182cm length. Available in 172, 182cm.
172cm is a new length for this model. Designed as an all-terrain freestyle ski, it is more versatile than EP if the conditions vary. Eric calls it his quiver of one.
Elizabeth
110mm underfoot, 15.5 meter sidecut in only length available, 172cm.
A wide park-specific ski.
ALL-TERRAIN FREESTYLE
These three models (as well as Bacon, Mothership, Mastermind, Pandora and Shadow) 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. Multi-radius frontside skis are usually the opposite — tightest radius in the tip because they want the initiation to hook up.
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 (new length), 178, 183cm.
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, 178cm.
New model. Cryptonite is a wider version of the popular Chronic.
Chronic
85mm underfoot, 18.5 meter sidecut in 176cm length. Available in 156, 166, 171, 176cm.
Mastermind
85mm underfoot, 18.5 meter sidecut in 177cm length. Available in 147, 157, 167, 177cm.
A new model that Line calls a value-oriented ski to take your skills to the next level.
PARK AND PIPE
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.
Anthem
93mm underfoot, 18.5 meter sidecut in 178cm length. Available in 161, 171, 178cm.
100% symmetric, center-mounted jibbing ski. Line calls the Anthem a “jibtastic park slayer.”
Afterbang
88mm underfoot, 18 meter sidecut in 177cm length. Available in 155, 166, 177cm.
Line’s battle cry this year is to ski and destroy (man-made terrain). That’s fun but it can also destroy your skis. A new construction this year that mimics skateboard decks is featured in Afterbang. It is 7 layers of Hard Rock Maple with no sidewalls at all. A Carbon Ollieband and extra heavy base and edge material complete these weapons of mass destruction. The wild graphics are from none other than famous skateboard artists Jimbo Phillips and his father Jim.
FREERIDE
Mothership
111mm underfoot, 24 meter sidecut in 185cm length. Available in 185, 195cm.
A beautiful ski with a bit of early rise for easier powder skiing. The metal visible on top is Titanal. Mothership is designed for big snow and big lines.
Prophet 130
130mm underfoot, 18 meter sidecut in only length available — 186.
More early rise to the tip shape this year will make this modern super-wide even more manageable in powder.
ALL-MOUNTAIN
Prophet 100
100mm underfoot, 17.2 meter sidecut in 179cm length. Available in 165, 172, 179, 186cm.
Prophet 90
Available in 158 (new size), 165, 172, 179, 186cm.
Line calls this model the perfect quiver of one because of its versatility.
Prophet Flite
90mm underfoot, 17.7 meter sidecut in 179cm length. Available in 165, 172, 179cm.
New model. Same dimensions as Prophet 90 above but with a poplar core and no metal.
WOMEN
Pandora (powder)
115mm underfoot, 15.5 meter sidecut in 172cm length. Available in 152 (new length), 162, 172cm.
Pandora is not only 5mm fatter but has been reworked with Early Rise and Early Taper for better handling.
Celebrity (all-mountain)
90mm underfoot, 14.2 meter sidecut in 165cm length. Available in 151, 158, 165cm.
Celebrity got a major beef-up with the addition of Metal Matrix in the construction.
Shadow (freestyle)
85mm underfoot, 16.5 meter sidecut in 167cm length. Available in 147, 157, 167cm.
A completely new directional geometry (the ski is best going in one direction) adds all-round performance to this park model. For female skiers that want versatility on the mountain as well as the park.
