2021 Line Blade Women's Skis

There aren’t a whole lot of totally unique skis out there in the market today. Line has built their reputation on pushing boundaries in the world of ski construction, and it has culminated with the Blade Women's. For skiers looking for an interesting and unique experience on skis, look no further than the Blade Women's. Starting with an Aspen wood core, Line adds their Gas Pedal Metal laminate to bolster strength and response. This cut out piece of metal does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to making these skis stable and damp. It’s not a full sheet, but rather a feather-like shape that puts a good amount of energy and precision to the edges of the skis. It makes the ski behave like a fat slalom ski capable of making short, round, quick turns in any and all conditions. That’s the big difference here with the Blade versus a slalom ski—it's the conditions that matter. At 92 mm underfoot, the skis are pretty wide, but the difference between that 140 mm tip and the waist make the radius shorten right up. It’s listed as a 5-cut multiple radii ski that really makes a lot of different turns but if you keep it on edge and make it go, it’s an impressively short turn. Advanced skiers who know how to bend and flex a ski will get the most out of these boards and anyone who skis on them will instantly know that they’re on a totally unique and completely interesting ski.
