BLEND SKIS
BLEND DETAILS
A BLEND OF ALL SKIS FOR ALL TERRAIN
The 2012 Line Blend ski has a light & lively freestyle construction combined with an ultra versatile 100mm width & Early Rise™ tips which turns a once boring mountain into a brand new personal terrain park. Drop some pillows before heading into the trees in search of log slides and hidden stashes, then cut back onto the groomers for some maching high speed switch carves before wrapping it up with a hot lap through the park like you never left it. Any were, any day, any condition, this is the Blend.

I can hit the deepest of powder and still float over it like the Pollard's. Then you can sail over packed and groomed runs like thin skis. I LOVE THESE SKIS

Comments about Line Skis Blend:
I bought the blend with all the money I had (I'm still at school) right before I went away on my easter trip. Europe has had a very poor season with very poor snow so I wasnt expecting face shots but the blends served me well. I spent most of the week flying about the hard pack and lapping the park and the blends held up really nicely! They are quick enough edge to edge and they carve beautifully and landing on them is sooo mellow! As a piste ski they were awesome! I just cant wait to get them in some deep! Anyone who is not sure about the width for an everyday ski, I'd say go for it! I did and they are sick!

Comments about Line Skis Blend:
This Ski is awesome on both groomers and in a little bit of fresh. able to handle nice smooth, fast powder turns. Then take right into Big GS turns. One bummer is that the durability of the top sheet and sidewalls isn't that great, chunks come out somewhat easy.

Comments about Line Skis Blend:
I skied these for the first time today in Big White, BC, and I was really impressed. First of all park: I was worried that they'd be a little hard to spin off jumps with, but i was surprised at how well they rotated. Also they handled a lot better on rails than I expected. Then I hit some glades and some pow. They float so well in the powder, and can turn quick enough to go glade skiing without having to slow down a lot. Awsome Ski.

Comments about Line Skis Blend:
these are my first pair of fat skis and they are awsome. the early rise makes skiing pow amazing. they smash down groomers , backcountry and park their even good on ice. i spent two weeks skiing on them in Utah and they were pretty much perfect in all conditions.

BLEND TECHNOLOGY
SIDEWALL
ABS plastic walls over the edges absorbs impact & vibrations for a solid, smooth feel.
MACROBLOCK™ CORE
This 100% tip to tail wood core is made from the widest and highest quality Maple and/or Aspen laminates for long lasting camber and energy and the lightest, most durable wood core in the Universe.
SYMMETRIC FLEX
The same ski flex in-front and behind your boot conforms to terrain for equally performance riding forward & backwards.
EARLY RISE™
Tip rise starts earlier in the ski so the tips effortlessly rise out of powder & stay on top without needing to sit back.
EARLY TAPER™
The widest point of sidecut starts tapering earlier in the tip to reduces tail drag and hooking in powder.
FIVECUT™
5 different sizes of sidecut radius shapes are blended into one, for intuitive control & unlimited turn shapes.
TIGERSNAKE
Used on the best skis in the world! An electrical conduit is woven into the core with control knobs on top, so the ski can become aggressive like a tiger, while maintaining natural flex . . . like a snake!
