The Line OPTIC 88 skis are designed for experienced skiers looking for a versatile ski geared toward the groomed slopes and hard snow, capable of meeting the demands of freeriding without sacrificing precision on groomed runs. With an 88 mm waist width, the OPTIC 88 is the narrowest model in the Optic series, designed for those who prioritize edge grip and active terrain reading. The combination of a Capwall construction and strategically integrated metal makes it a technical ski with direct and predictable handling.
The Capwall construction sets the OPTIC 88 apart with its ability to concentrate stiffness where it’s needed—underfoot—while maintaining some flexibility at the tip and tail to absorb irregularities. This architecture provides precise grip during the weight-transfer phases of a turn and contributes to the overall durability of the ski’s tips and tails. The Rocker/Camber/Rocker profile complements this geometry by making it easier to initiate turns at the tip, while maintaining contact with the snow at the center for responsive handling on hard snow.
At the heart of the OPTIC 88, Gas Pedal Metal Overdrive technology incorporates Titanal strategically positioned underfoot. This strategic placement increases torsional stiffness in the primary pressure zone, resulting in better transmission of the skier’s intentions to the edge, without making the ski excessively heavy. The Aspen Veneer core contributes to this balance between responsiveness and stability, resulting in a ski that responds directly to every input.
The 5CUT multi-radius sidecut allows the turning radius to vary progressively depending on the ski’s angle of lean, with a reference radius of 16.3 m for the 177 cm length. This feature offers flexibility in managing your line, from short, dynamic turns to wide arcs taken at sustained speed. The Fatty Base & Edge, which are 30% thicker than standard, enhance durability and grip on frozen snow—two key advantages for skiing in demanding winter conditions.
The Line OPTIC 88 skis are a solid choice for the experienced skier looking for a piste-oriented freeride ski that combines power transfer, precision in turns, and durability.
Founded in a garage in New York State in 1995, LINE has embodied a certain vision of skiing for thirty years: more fun, more creative, less conventional. A pioneer of twin-tip skis and modern freestyle, the brand has expanded its playground far beyond the park to now encompass alpine skiing, freeride, all-mountain, powder, and ski touring, without ever losing its DNA that goes beyond conventions.
An all-mountain freeride ski, the Line Optic 88 is designed for experienced skiers seeking precision and grip on groomed runs and in hard snow. Its Capwall construction, combined with Gas Pedal Metal Overdrive technology—which incorporates strategically placed Titanal—enhances torsional stiffness and power transfer underfoot. The Rocker/Camber/Rocker profile and the 5CUT multi-radius sidewall ensure smooth radius transitions and stable handling on varied terrain.
