evo.com | Line Skis > Another fishy entree from the redoubtable Line, the catch of the day is the new Line Poisson Skis. Light-hearted and playful but with a strength that goes deep, the Poisson has a healthy dose of straightline stability brought about by a Titanal laminate that takes the Blade construction to a new level, with varying "flanges" cut into the metal to give the ski power underfoot and the tips and tails a smooth and play-worthy softer flex. The tail also has a unique Slash Trigger shape, with extra taper south of the contact point to allow easier drifting and slashing. Long story short, the Poisson lets you charge with the best of them, but offers a unique abililty to drift and slarve even at top speed. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. Early Rise(TM) Tip and tail lift away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the center of the ski. This increases a ski's lift in deep snow and allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack. Sidewall Construction Ultra-high density Polyethylene vertical walls over the edges to absorb vibrations and provide powerful energy transmission. 2.1mm x 2mm 5-Cut(TM) Geometry Five different radiuses are blended into the ski's sidecut. The result? A wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel. | Line Poisson Skis 2027 - 165
