Product description

The most versatile ski in the Blade Optic Collection, the Blade Optic 104 is right at home, charging big mountain laps to cruising smooth burns on early morning corduroy and everything in between. Equipped with the LINE Gas Pedal Medal Overdive™ tech, you'll harness the power of an innovative layup of titanal to feel enhanced edge grip, stability, and control under your feet. Get ready to kick it into the top gear and ski with confidence on the Blade Optic 104.
After a multitude of awards and praise in its inaugural season, the Blade Optic Collection continues into its second year. Born from LINE's history of pushing freeride skiing in a new direction, the Blade Optic Collection breaks the mold of traditional metal-laminate ski design, pulling notes from two award-winning LINE Skis, the Vision and the Blade. Fusing the intuitive freeride capabilities of the Vision's chassis, with the technology and power found in the Blade's Gas Pedal Metal™ construction, the Blade Optic Collection was created for pedal to the metal ripping from the firmest of corduroy to the deepest of pow. Set your sights down the mountain, kick it into overdrive, and experience freeride through a new lens on the Blade Optic Collection.

An amalgam of Aspen Stringers brought together for a lightweight, snappy, and engaged feel.
Combining the precision of sidewall underfoot, and the lightweight, durable performance of cap in the tip, Capwall™ construction provides the best of both worlds
30% thicker base & edge, 2mm wide x 2.5mm high steel edges and 1.7mm thick base dramatically increase durability and tuning life the skis.
The softer tip floats & initiates turns easily while the stiffer tail provides power, stability & high speed control.
FIVE different radiuses are blended into the ski’s sidecut. The result? A wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel.
Titanal focused across the ski width provides increased edge grip and torsional stability while maintaining a lively feel along the length of the ski. Two independent tip and tail Titanal pieces add extra power and energy.
The 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 when rolled over on edge.
The widest point of the sidecut begins tapering earlier in the tip & tail which reduces hook ups in powder.
A thin core & sidewall in the tips are 100 grams lighter per pair for reduced swing weight & tip bounc
