Model Year: 2011-2012

This is Eric’c opus—his greatest single work. The Line Opus ski was customized over a period of 13 years as Line developed more innovative ski designs, culminating in this breakthrough in powder skis. The Early Rise™ tip is lowered, meaning these sticks will plane instead of plow, while the reduced Early Taper™ length gives you 20% more Active Edge™ length in contact with the snow.  Easier float allows for a reduced width of 118mm, so you’ve got the agility and quickness to cut across anything. These are definitely skis with a  ‘more-grip-less-slip’ motto.

Eric Pollard - Over the past decade I have designed and skied over 100 different prototypes in search of skis that allow me to ride the mountain the way I want to. We have gone to every extreme from super fat 140mm to narrow, to super short, to over 200cm long, extreme Early Rise to no Early Rise, lots of side cuts to reverse sidecut, blunt tips, pointy tips.  We have applied every flex pattern we can think of, mounted each ski in different locations and analyzed the differences over and over again, to learn so much from each ski. The new Opus and the Bacon are the culmination of the last 13 years of work.  They blend a perfect mix of flex, sidecut, tip shape, overall shape/ footprint, mounting point, Early rise, Early taper, and camber.  They are honestly the best skis I have ever skied.
