BLADE
Couldn't load pickup availability
With their ultra-wide tip and radical 13.5 meter sidecut, the Line Skis Blade Skis look like nothing else on the planet. Their performance is otherworldly as well, handling deep snow and crud like a boss while still carving clean arcs on the groomed like a race ski minus the hard work. Gas Pedal Metal construction, with an intricately cut Titanal laminate under the topsheet, gives the Blade uncommon stability at speed and smooths out the chatter, while a "mini swallowtail" at the rear of the ski provides a touch more float in the soft stuff. More than just a curiosity, the Blade is a unique design that has gained some diehard fans worldwide.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Early Rise™ – Tip and tail lift away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the center of the ski. This increases a ski's lift in deep snow and allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack.
Rocker Profile – 3mm Tip / 5mm Camber / 1mm Tail
Flex
Directional Flex – The softer tip floats and initiates turns easily while the stiffer tail provides power, stability and high speed control.
Sidecut
5-Cut™ Geometry – Five different radiuses are blended into the ski's sidecut. The result? A wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel.
Core
Aspen Core – 100% Aspen wood for the lightest, most nimble feel.
Laminates
Gas Pedal Metal™ – Titanal carefully arranged across the ski provides increased edge grip and torsional stability while maintaining a lively feel along the length of the ski. Two independent tip and tail Titanal pieces add power and energy.
Sidewalls
Sidewall Construction – Ultra-high density Polyethylene vertical walls over the edges to absorb vibrations and provide powerful energy transmission.
