My local mountain doesn't get too much snow, only around 60 annual inches, but i had to have these skis, when i got them, even though they were powder skis and we didn't have too much of that, it made 5 inches feel like 3 ft. i love these skis, and they will do it ALL. I was stunned how well they preformed on the groomers. GET THESE SKIS!

Versatile. Amazingly versatile. The combination of the shape and mount give you a very neutral skiing position, and makes the ski very responsive in a wide range of conditions. This balance combined with the soft flex in the tips transistioning to stiff underfoot makes for a pretty crazy blend of nimbleness and stability. When you ski forward and pressure the tips in soft snow, the flex in the tips initiates tight turns, and the ski comes around so fast that they're really nimble in tight places. In wide-open soft snow, a more neutral stance brings the stiffness underfoot to bear, and the soft flex up front keeps the tips planing while you rail faster longer turns. Even with a short tip given the center-mount, they float at low speeds whiel being stable enough to let you push them at faster speeds. I've had any number of skis that are either soft and super-floaty at low speeds but get overwhelmed at high speeds or are stiff and clunky at low speeds but come alive at mid to high speeds. The Opus pretty much kills it from 0-60 in the deep and lets you ski it very nimbley up front or more wide open from the middle in a way that makes it a ton of fun.

The same thing is pretty much true in bounds, where the shape really comes into play. Even with the tip and tail rocker, they still have a pretty long effective edge, and since the rocker is fairly moderate, you don't have to lean them over at extreme angles to put all of that edge on the snow. The ski seems to gets stiff in the front pretty close to where the sidecut contact starts, so even at high speeds in chopped up chunder, the ski rails on edge. Also, since you're standing right in the middle of the sidecut with not-a-ton of tip, they're really quick edge to edge and easy to throw around. This makes them awesome in the backcountry on non-blower days, and they don't hook up in crusty conditions at all.

The Opus is an awesome ski, and is kind of making me feel guilty for owning many other pairs of skis. It's fun, playful, and will surprise you with it's stability. It favors a very balanced stance, and will reward you with a huge performance range if you can stay centered and drive it. It floats like a champ. If you want to straightline everything and sit in the back seat, it is not your ski. All in all, it would probably be the perfect one-ski-quiver for a western skier, and they're so light you can throw on a tech binding and have a pretty dope do-everything backcountry setup. Score another point for Line and Eric Pollard, both of which are pretty much killing it right now.

You haven't skied until you have tried the Opus. They have ridiculous float, stable when charging, extremely nimble, and dig trenches on corduroy. You will slay everything with the Opus. These skis will make you feel like a princess underneath the stars in a white dress surrounded by a mariachi band and elves. They are amazing!

The Opuses are the dopeness. Definitely more stable than the EP Pros but just as nimble when need be. The stomp factor is high too; never do I ever feel like these skis are going dive at any point.

The most surprising thing about this ski is how well it handles in all snow conditions. It floats in the deepest pow I can find, and can still hold an edge blasting through crud or carving up a groomer. Also, if you like to hit BC jumps you would absolutely love the way the Opus feels in the air. They are lightweight, snappy, and hands down the most maneuverable pow ski I have ever jumped on- you feel like you have park skis on until you stomp in the pow and realize you are riding a ski thats actually 118mm underfoot.

I used to read the snow report thoroughly before going out to decide which ski i would use. Was it a 3ft deep day where I would need my old EP's to stay afloat, or would it be another foot deep topper for the day where i would try to charge some lines that needed the control of a more rigid ski such as the bacon?

Now I only read the report for avalanche danger and where I'm going to ski. The Opus is perfect no matter what conditions are thrown its way. This is my touring ski, my jump ski, my woods ski, my exposed lines ski, and my pillow ski.

The name definitely speaks for itself, this is Pollard's best ski ever. The opus is a perfect mix of all of the best qualities of the old pollard and bacon. It is literally the best ski I've ever ridden. You can do it all with the opus; hit big bc jumps, drop cliffs, land and take off switch. They shred deep pow, chunder, and groomers without compromise. I get excited every time i step into these skis.

This ski is nothing short of amazing! I actually thought that they couldn't out-do last years bacons but I was wrong. Line has always had a knack for making incredible skis, however, this time they may have outdone themselves. The opus will be talked about for a long time. I believe some may overlook this ski because they believe its a pow-only pro model but this ski rips all mountain as well and out performs anything else in the category. This ski is super fun and playfull all over the mountain and in my opinion will redefine what a ski this wide is capable of. If you loved last years bacons, do not even hesitate to buy this ski. You will not be sorry.
