Line Sakana Skis

This Ski Is A Staff Favorite:

Powder7 Staff Pick Tyler J
By: Tyler J
This ski: fun. It's a wildly fun ski to shred on. It takes a powder appropriate width and rocker, and makes it into a the tightest carving ski that I've ever been on... but wait! There's more! Have you ever found yourself wondering how to make late spring slush slashing more fun? Look no further, this ski conquers slush better than Alexander conquered Persia. The ski is light and nimble enough for the woods, but beware the directional mount point and funky tails! They will punish backseat drivers, espcially in the woods or in bumps. Switch skiers beware! Only the mightiest of you might hope to ski this oddity switch, lest you lock your tails and smash into the snow.

The only place that this ski doesn't live up to its hype as my favorite all-around all-mountain crusher is when I'm skiing steep lines or variable/mixed conditions. It rattles a bit at high speed and tends to bounce around in serious chop. Those small debits to its incredible all around profile haven't stopped me from skiing 200+ days on them and lovingly repairing all of the damage I've put them through everywhere from Jay Peak and Sugarloaf to backcountry lines here in Colorado.

There might be plenty of other fish in the sea, but this one might be the most unique and I think more people should give it a try.

Powder7 Staff Pick Mitch

There's no doubt that these are niche, but I love them. I do feel like these are a love it or hate it kind of ski, but if you appreciate their style--they are a blast! Technically, Line calls these carving skis, but they are so much more than that. Sure, you can link really beautiful S turns, but I would argue that they can also carry you through deep deep snow. I rode these on a deep storm day at Taos (Kachina laps, Cabin Chute, etc) and the big spoon tip kept me floating really well! Be aware of the short, incredibly stiff tail though--it is not forgiving and will backseat you if you aren't careful!

You know, it's not every day that you see a swallow tail on anything other than a novelty powder board. And sticking one on the all-mountain Sakana, with its reasonably slim 105mm waist width, is certainly a bold statement from Line. But here's the thing: it works, it looks cool, and it throws up some sweet snow spray. When I rode the Sakana on firm, bumped-up steeps at Copper Mountain, I never felt like I was missing anything in the tail. On the contrary, what grabbed my attention the most was the massive 150mm-wide tip that made this thing want to turn and turn and turn. Super nimble and lively, the Sakana was a delight whether I was railing groomers or hunting for untracked lines in the trees. The tip will flap a bit at reckless speeds--but that's a fair trade-off for a ski this fun, versatile, and unique. Fair warning: people will ask you about the swallow tail in the lift line.

Our Take On The 2026 Line Sakana:

When Line debuted the Sakana in 2018, it was the talk of ski tests everywhere. First, skiers hopped on the skis because they had to. The Sakana looked funny and different, so they figured they would try it once for laughs. Seriously, a 105mm ski with swallowtail and absurdly fat tips? LOL, what a hoot! But then, skiers kept skiing the Sakana. Because, well, they wanted to. Everyone knew the skis would be a blast in powder. With oversized, rockered-out tips and a split tail, that part was a no-brainer. But what they did not know was how well the Sakana would carve. With a mount point further back than usual and a notable sidecut, the Sakana absolutely rips on mixed and packed snow and down groomers. Who woulda thunk it? All of a sudden, these skis became a bonafide all-mountain option for powder- (and fun-) oriented skiers, especially in the West. Keep in mind: When we say the Sakana skis groomers well, we do not claim that those huge tips do not flop around a bit. They do. But somehow, when you ski the Sakana, you just dont care. Similar skis: nothing.
