Line Skis 2026: First Look
When folks come into the shop and ask us what Line skis are all about, the answer is easy: fun. Line builds skis with interesting shapes, construction, and design. Now this year, they have simplified their line and added several updates to key skis in their collections. We dive into all the details of all their new skis (and some familiar favorites) in our Line skis 2026 preview.
What’s New
Line is focusing more on their freestyle skis this year, with revamps to the Tom Wallisch Pro and Blend. The goal isn’t to change these skis too much, but just refine and improve durability. Line knows that you want to be bashing these skis against rails and features, and wants to make sure you have the right skis to do it with.
The TW Pro is treated to the same classic shape that skiers love, but with some tweaks to the construction. Line injects their “thick cut sidewalls” found on the Bacon series to improve strength and torsional rigidity. The “thin tip” tech that the Chronic 101 and 94 were treated to in their redesign is brought over here. Thin tip essentially extends the wood core into the tip and tails, while creating a zone along the edges where glass meets glass. This creates an envelope of glass that the wood core goes in, preventing delaminations from running into the core. You might get edge chipping, but nothing that breaks the core of the ski. Line also drops bio-resin in here, which is more sustainable, non-toxic, and bonds better.
The Blend gets the same construction updates, with more changes to the shape. Nothing crazy—it drops from 100mm to 98mm to be a little more nimble, but the main story here is better durability.
Other Highlights
The rest of the story here is amazing graphics. New graphics across the whole line, with particularly compelling graphics on the Bacon series. Take a bite and check them out below.
Just as a reminder, the Vision series is their lightweight freeride offering, with the Pandora serving as classic do-it-all all-mountain skis.
Bacon delivers more a freestyle, big-mountain feel compared to the Pandora with it’s more true twin shape. Optic are our metal laminates with a classic freeride shape.
