POWDER SKIS FROM THE FUTURE!
It's not every year that a ski that's already brilliant can be made even better, but then again...!
For years Eric Pollard has been striving to make a ski that floats in powder, but still performs brilliantly on harder snow, finally he's decided that these skis are his 'Opus'...his finest work to date!
It's narrower shape and lower early rise on the tip, compared to the old Pollard ski, will give you increased stability in all the conditions that are thrown at you, but still float when you need it. The technology in these skis is designed by riders, for riders like you who want to excel in everything they ski and enjoy doing it....these are 'a work of art' that will make you smile!
What Line says: Opus is defined as ”A great work of art or literature, especially the greatest single work of an artist ”. In Eric’s case, his 2012 Line Opus ski was developed with over 13 years of progressing powder skiing & innovative ski designs with Line.What Eric says: “Anyone can make a really fat ski float in powder, but making it also versatile enough to rip firm snow is where they all fall short.” The Line Opus ski is a breakthrough in versatility within the powder ski category. We actually lowered the Early Rise™ tip geometry enabling it to PLANE INSTEAD OF PLOW in the powder. We also reduced the length of Early Taper™ putting 20% more Active Edge™ length in contact with the snow than others in it’s class, for MORE GRIP & LESS SLIP. This better floating tip geometry allowed us to actually reduce the width to 118mm for increased quickness, reduced weight and a skiing experience that is as ahead of it’s time as the skier that developed it.
