INFLUENCE 115 SKIS
INFLUENCE 115 DETAILS
THE STEEP & DEEP
The 2012 Line Influence 115 skis put the fun back into big mountain skiing. Imagine all of the powerful, high-speed, hard-charging control and stability you’d expect from a big mtn ski, yet with a surprisingly quick and nimble feel that effortlessly floats in the pow. It’s wide enough to be your favorite ski on the deepest days, yet still a one ski quiver for every other day of the year. It’s time to escape the confines of status quo.

Pros
- Good Carving Ability
- Good Grip
- Great Flotation
- Lightweight
- Smooth Ride
Cons
Best Uses
- Downhill
- Groomed Terrain
- Moguls
- Powder Skiing
I ski all around New England (mostly in Maine) and these skis really rock. They were my first "wide" ski and I was very impressed. They are wicked awesome in powder because of the early rise and still smooth on groomers because of the camber. I love skiing glades and these were really responsive and quick in the trees. I took them out to Snowbird/Alta, Utah, and they were just as good there. Overall, these skis are the best I've ever been on.

Best Uses
This is easily the best all-round "do everything" ski I've ever used! I have skied for a living for the last 25 years and have found nothing that compares to these. First day I skied them I intentionally aimed for wind and sun affected crud and the skis plowed through the snow perfectly.
Amazing!!!

- Good turning in all conds
- Great all mt skis

- Not a beginer ski
Best Uses
- All mtn and powder
I really love these skis. I have been skiing Mantras and these skis blow them out of the water. I crushed everything on the Mtn today. I live in CO and I took em out today for my first time at Breckenridge. They handled the chop and the trees with ease.

- Early rise
- Fat

Cons
- Skiing bumps
Best Uses
- Airs
- Backcountry
- Chopped snow
- Powder
- Skiing fast
This might be my favorite LINE ski! I've been using it every day at Squaw Valley for the past 3 weeks. It skis deep powder extremely well. I'm not afraid of sidecut. It helps this ski to turn in technical terrain. I love the early rise tip! The ski floats very well in pow. I have a pair of 130's but have been using the 115's just as well on pow days. The ski is stiff underfoot and in the tail, with regular camber. That's where it's at! I love them for skiing everyday at Squaw.
Pros
Cons
- All Terrain
- Durable
- Fun
- Precise
Best Uses
- Cascade Concrete
- Groom to Pow is fun
- Powder
- Variable Snow Conditions
I live in the Pacific Northwest. Usually heavy water content snow and cascade concrete. Been out twice this year in setup powder and pow. This ski is the most versatile, fun ski I have owned. Turns extremely well on groomed - weight slightly forward on tips. Pow turns easy, ski floats on pow. Ski destroys setup snow, and makes the ride fun. Stops on a dime in pow, like headed for an unforseen tree. Love this ski. Thank you Line for giving intermediates a ski that makes us look expert.
Pros
- Fast
- Light
- looks cool
- Strong
Cons
Best Uses
- Backcountry
- Skiing fast
This was my most consistent backcountry choice this past year. The 115 is wide enough to throw the ski side ways, yet there is camber and a familiarity to carving a race turn at high speeds. It is an extemly versatile ski in the White Mountains of NH, light for all the skinning and fat for everything else.

INFLUENCE 115 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.
FIVECUT™
5 different sizes of sidecut radius shapes are blended into one, for intuitive control & unlimited turn shapes.
DIRECTIONAL FLEX
The softer tip floats & initiates turns easily while the stiffer tail provides reliable powerful turn exits, & stability.
METAL MATRIX™
Die cut titanal, or composite laminate provides more power & grip where you need it under foot & at the tips, while reducing weight where you don’t.
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.
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!
ACTIVE EDGE
20% longer sidecut edge length in contact with the snow than other skis in it's class for more grip & less slip!
