Blade Optic 96 Skis - 2023/2024

Ideal for anyone who enjoys high-speed skiing, the Line Blade Optic 96 skis will give you confidence on the hill, whether you're carving down a crusty groomer or cruising a big line in fresh pow.

Features

• 5Cut™ multi-radius sidecut features 5 different radiuses blended into the ski's sidecut, resulting in a wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel
• Gas Pedal Medal Overdive™ tech harnesses the power of an innovative layup of Titanal® for enhanced edge grip, stability and control under your feet
• Chevron-shaped Titanal underfoot expands into the forebody and rear of the skis to provide edge grip on hard snow and a powerful, smooth ride in cut-up snow and chop
• Early Rise design features tips and tails that lift away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the center of the skis
• Early Rise design increases lift in deep snow and allows the skis to engage more quickly on hardpack when rolled over on edge
• With Directional Flex, the softer tips float and initiates turns easily while the stiffer tails provide power, stability and high-speed control
• Fatty Base & Edge™ design means 30% thicker bases and edges; 2 mm wide x 2.5 mm high edge, and 1.7 mm thick base dramatically increase durability and tuning life of these skis
• Thin Tip™ extended core runs through the tips and tails with a glass-on-glass bonding area to keep delamination from propagating to the core and limit chipping to the edges
