Line Blade Optic 104 Skis 2023

SLICE AND DICE.

REVIEWED BY: Joe Riccio

The Line Blade Optic 104 is the most versatile of the Line Optic Series. It doesn't make a turn in the same precise and powerful manner the Blade Optic 96 does but it's a wider ski that can handle softer snow really well without sacrificing too much on trail performance. The ski feels stong underfoot and it's confident enough to blast through chopped up crud without getting nervous or knocked around.  At 104mm in the waist this ski does well in fresh snow or untracked terrain while maintaining good enough edge hold and stability for groomer days. If you want a ski to blast through the trees but need good groomer performance this is a great choice. In comparison to the more narrow Line Blade Optic 96, the 104 is truly built for all mountain skiing and it's less precise feeling than the 96.
