Line Skis 2025: First Look

Progression.

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 2025 preview.

What’s New

All-new, all-mountain Pandora skis.

Line updates their best-selling all-mountain Pandora skis with a pretty big update. As with the rest of the skis in their collection, Line is going fully unisex in models and sizing. That means every ski is offered in a full-size run, and there are no “women’s specific models”. So where the Pandora was previously a “women’s” ski, all the skis are in a full-size run and built for whoever. The Pandora was always synonymous with the former Sick Day anyway, this is just bringing both models together.

The new Pandora construction adds a bit of power underfoot. The skis have an Aspen Veneer core (a light-ish wood that has a soft-medium flex), along with fiberglass and a new full sidewall. The skis retain their intuitive nature but have some more “grr” as we like to call it. The new models include an entry-level Pandora 85, Pandora 92 (which is the old Blade Optic 92), Pandora 99, and Pandora 106.

The updated Visions, with the 96 in purple on the left, 104 in the middle, and 114 in green.

The freetour Vision skis get a significant update too. They take the shape from the Optic series (deep rocker tip and tail, low camber) and remove the metal. They remove the Aramid, add flax for dampening, and a new fiberglass construction that uses steeper angles to increase strength. The new skis are heavier than the old Visions, but not a crazy amount. Line still puts this in their free tour category, just with a bit more heft for more aggressive skiing and stability in challenging conditions.

Other Highlights

The fresh new Optic graphics, with the all-new Optic 88 on the left.

The former Blade Optic series gets a rebrand as Optic. The constructions aren’t changing, but Line did take out the non-metal Blade Optic 92 (which becomes Pandora 92 with different graphics), and adds an Optic 88, which does have the same Gas Pedal Metal as the bigger Optics. A great addition to the line, with a narrow metal laminate option in Line’s collection now. With the rockered tips and tails, this is a great alternative to the directional metal laminate skis we see everywhere.

New Bacon 122. This coincides and has the same build as the updated Bacon 115 and Bacon 108 from last season.

New graphics on the Chornic line, which remains some of our staff’s favorite new skis from this season.

New graphics on Blade, Sakana, and Pescado. The Sakana gets a different color in every size.

New graphics across the board of their park-specific skis—Honey Badger, Blend, and TW Pro.
