Line

Supernatural 92 Ski

Close your eyes and think about Line. Odds are pretty good you imagine progressive tricks, lots of playful riding, and a hearty dose of all things switch. Line's not without a more straightforward side, though, with a practical streak that's jumps out in the Supernatural 92 Ski.

True to Line's East Coast roots, the Supernatural has a 92mm width that's at home on hardpack and less-than-perfect snow, and it sports just enough float to handle boot-top pow and spring corn without sending you tumbling. Line's famous 5-Cut five-dimensional sidecut serves up virtually unlimited turn shapes, so you can shimmy through trees, blast over crud, and punch it down groomers without feeling sluggish, squirrely, or locked in to one type of turn. The Maple Macroblock core combines two rugged maple stringers with quick and poppy aspen, keeping the Supernatural stable at speed, quick in tight spots, and poppy when you're feeling playful.

Line was among the first to make a rockered ski, and while early-rise tips and tails have taken over the industry, Line's stuck to its guns. The Supernatural has a rockered, flap-reducing Thin Tip that lets you float through soft snow and cruise over crud without diving or sending you over the bars, and the raised tail lets you slash, scrub speed, and ride switch when you feel like it (though the Supernatural's most at home facing down the hill).
