evo.com | Line Skis Skis > Line has dropped the "Blade" from the title of the Line Skis Optic 104 Skis, a good thing in our opinion since the two have little in common. What hasn't changed is the rock solid all-mountain, all-conditions performance of the Optic 104, a ski hard chargers will want under their boots 80% of the time. Line went out of their way to make this ski more than equal to the best freeride skis on the market, sending it on its way with an Aspen Veneer core and carefully shaped Titanal laminate, making the package just what strong skiers are looking for in a daily driver. Directional Flex The softer tip floats and initiates turns easily while the stiffer tail provides power, stability and high speed control. Early Rise(TM) 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. 5-Cut(TM) Geometry Five different radiuses are blended into the ski's sidecut. The result? A wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel. Aspen Veneer Core An amalgam of Aspen Stringers brought together for a lightweight, snappy, and engaged feel. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. | Line Skis Optic 104 Skis 2025 - 178
