LINE Blend 2018 Ski Review

An extremely versatile ski that shines both off and on piste, the Line Blend 2018 is a great all mountain choice for advanced skiers really wanting to get stuck in to various terrains.

The Line Blend has a good waist width making it an easy to use all mountain ski. The name says it all – the Blend can easily be described a freeride and freestyle ski all combined in one.

Off piste it rides like a dream. It has great buoyancy and floats well over powder with its overall width. While it is very playful off piste, it is nice and stable when there are bumps to hit, allowing you to really have a lot of fun across the mountain this winter.

LINE Blend 2018 Ski Review

The Blend excels in all areas; take it for a lap through the park and you will not be disappointed. It is smooth and buttery but stable on kickers,  the kind of ski you could take on a season and it will excel no matter what the conditions are.

This ski is perfect for somebody for anybody looking to have fun and jib around the mountain from dusk until dawn. It is more suited to the advanced skier that will be able to get the most out of its lively, versatile nature. If you’re an adventurous skier that wants to spend your days exploring the mountain on a ski with a lot of playfulness and energy, the Line Blend 2018 is a great choice.

It is very fun, lively and easy to use, which also makes it a great step up for someone looking to progress their skiing.

If you previously favoured pistes but now also want to advance and explore more of the mountain, this ski would be a good option.
