Line Influence 115 Ski

Item #LIN0180 | 9 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Charging through everything

By Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete Ranked #171 - Big Mountain Freeride Skis October 4, 2011

I use this as my everyday ski. The wide dimensions and early rise provides plenty of resistance to diving when you're in the deep snow. The torsional rigidity from the metal matrix and the sidewall construction allows you to absolutely charge in every condition right down to a hardpack. The 115 really shines when you're hitting a variety of conditions during your ski day- floaty turns in the pow, straight lining crud, and groomers at the bottom- it's confidence inspiring in each of those.

It should be noted that with all of it's power, you should plan on driving the ski. It's not very forgiving if you're tailgunning in the backseat. Also, the slight twin tip and directional geometry aren't ideal for skiing switch. But hey, you aren't getting the 115 to ski in the backseat or butter on to rails- you're getting them to stomp lines and take names.
