Anybody get on the Line Blade Optic skis yet?

[SnowMachine]

Finally mounted the one fourteens I bought from Corbetts for a steal. What a great ski. Excellent charger that’s super easy to throw sideways and ditch speed. Very landing jumps as the tail is very supportive without being punishing. Was able to make super g turns with no issues and they felt stable without feeling too locked in. Not great on groomers, but that’s not what they’re for. I’m very pleased that I picked them up despite not needing them at all.

Right? I have had mine for sale for a while, but I am not really trying to sell them. It is a ski that I dont need, but works well. I think my new HL AM110 will effectively replace it as my big mountain charger, but if not I may grab a newer version for next season.

If you like big, heavy, damp, long radius skis this ski is your huckleberry. Not hard to ski, but ready to take it to 11 if you are.

So day two on these and conditions were awesome. Ski is awesome. Super chargy but easy to ski at the same time. Pretty much the definition of a modern technique charger. But I compressed an edge on what I would consider to be a fairly light rock strike. Didn’t totally blow up the ski, but they’re compromised. I blew up a pair of one o fours last year but that was dropping twenty feet to rock. I really like how the optics ski but they aren’t a durable ski. Would not buy if I skied big sky or crested butte.

if anyone is looking for a 185cm optic 104, I'm selling mine in gear swap

I've been thinking about adding something a little easier-going to the quiver, but this is my fear. I've heard several other reports concerning the lack of durability.

Ok, definitely keeping the 104s in my quiver. And in fact, Im gonna cut my quiver down pretty far, I think, and these make the cut easily. I kind of want something carvier for low tide days but still around -6 mount point and semi upright. Anybody been on both the 104s and 96s and can compare them?

Do you mean ninety six? I do, really like it, good carver and easy off piste. Similar to my old rustler 9 but more stable.

similar question - anyone have time on the optic eighty eight - want a groomer/firm ski that's still a little fun and this could fit the bill but don't see any reviews for it anywhere

FWIW, I have the optic [emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]]][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]] and it rips groomers, I would guess the [emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]] would as well.

Well that settles it, I'm getting a pair of Optic Emoji 6s.

also curious on eighty eight, trying too get my low tide ski sorted

I bought a pair of 88s. Was looking for a ski halfway between a Kendo and a Bent 90. 88 turned out to be way closer to a Kendo. So far only skied on Pennsylvania and Massachusetts groomers, pretty firm snow. Even with the factory edge which I’m guessing is 1*, they grip well. Way better groomer ripper than I expected. 184 radius is 18ish which I think is good for this ski.

good deals at aspen ski and board on 88s, got a pair of 184 for 325. other sizes available. will see how it gors
