Line skis has come a long way from the garage days when it was one pair of skis a day, but the mission of building skis to bring skiers to the next level to realize all they can, and want, to be is still the same. With a great Research and Development team and input from a team of solid professional skiers like Eric Pollard - also a ski graphic artist - Line's 2011-2012 collection is as progressive as ever and of course, with graphics so cool you might want to frame your Line skis - but only in the off-season.
Here's a few words from guys at Line Skis about the 2011-12 collection of Line skis:
"YO! You work hard for your money! For that lift ticket, the pass, the gear and the gas to get you there. You waited a long time for your day on the mountain and we agree, this is no time to be riding your dad’s skis. It’s 2011 and we’re continuing to build breakthrough products that give you the futuristic super powers to have more fun, with more control and less effort than ever previously thought possible. Ollie ropes, tuck bump runs, and spray snowboarders while passing them switch. We guarantee you’ll have more fun on these skis."
