Anybody get on the Line Blade Optic skis yet?

[scumpup]

I haven't seen anyone post about the Line Blade Optic 96 or 104 on here yet. Anyone get to try them yet?

[mr_pretzel]

Interested in the 114 too

[SirVicSmasher]

Yes. 114 rips. Not as playful as I expected. Really excels off piste in funky snow . Expect to ski from a neutral stance but can be driven too. 2 sheets of metal. Go big or go home

Hand flexed them in the shop. All of them are relatively soft in the tips and tails but heavy with metal. I think the 104 seems like my fav. The 114 felt a little too soft for my personal style.

SVS how do they compare to the Reckoner 112s?

They ski totally different than the reckoners. The carbon in the reckoners make them super forgiving and easy to ski, these blade optics are not what I would call a forgiving ski. You have to bring your A game. And as far as stiffness is concerned I can assure you the 114 is not too soft for anybody. I have a hard time deciding between the 2 skis now and find myself switching run to run but if things are choppy or funky snow I'm grabbing the lines . If it's hard packed or I want to play around more I'm on the reckoners.

The blister guys seem to love them. I'm probably looking at the 96 in 184. I was surprised at the lack of chatter about them on here.

[jacob_dbu]

Too expensive right now haha...

Forgot to mention their bases and edges are supposed to be extra thick and durable. I took a super deep chunk out of the base that surely would've been a core shot on most skis and it didn't go through.

Drop a pic when you get the chance? I'm interested!

They look like direct competition to the nordica unleashed with the sliders set more to loose and playful and not edgey and locked in with the more subtle rocker profiles. Except for the 114, which is heavy stiff and looks like a charger outright. Shame the local stores brought in every width -except- that one..

Evo lists the 192 114 at 2552g/ski. Looking forward to hearing more about these.

Mine were in the 2350 range

Come to think of it, with the report that the revolt 114 is going to be mounted further back and just as heavy, i wonder how that ski would compare..

Wow. Not something I expected out of Line. Looks like they did a good job.

The vision 98s i tour on have the softest, thinnest bases I've ever used. Those skis are too soft and turny for acceptable lift-based use, but these seem to offer a viable alternative. I'd love to demo the 96s

I got my wife a set of 96’s in a 170cm length. Corbetts had them on sale on Black Friday so they were $460.

Two days and she seems to like them quite a bit. The main take away here is that the 96 isn’t demanding. Seems like a fun playful ski. The build quality isn’t anything like moment or On3p…. But seems ‘fine’. I’m curious about the 104 as it comes in a 190.

[Velomayniac]

How serious is the 114? Ski essentials has a few videos talking about it, and they make it out to be a comp ski for hard chargers.

[Duffman]

Any comparisons to the Nordica 104 free yet?

[pembyguy]

Have the 92 for fucking about on. Trashed the bases on early season whistler garbage. Extremely easy to ski tho.

You guys are sleeping on some real chargers.

I'm waiting for the Corbetts sale at end of season. Looking at a 190cm Optic 104.

[SirVicSmasher]

The charger label only applies to the 114s
