What Line says about the Vision 96
“A featherweight feel that doesn't sacrifice downhill performance
Created for all-mountain versatility in an exceptionally lightweight package, the LINE Vision 96 shares the same build and featherweight feel as the Vision 114 and 104. Whether you're looking to rally through the freshies, arc on groomers, or motor-up skin tracks, the LINE Vision 96 is up to the task. It may be one of the lightest skis you'll get your hands on, but don't let that fool you; the Vision 96 will rip whatever you throw at it.
Designed to rip within the resort ropes and well beyond
Visions can change over time, whether about a brand's vision, or the skis we’re riding on, our vision changed the day we tested the new Optic Collection. From the 88 to the 114, the Optic Collection skied so well that we knew we had to revamp the Vision Collection to match. We took the shape of the Optic 96, 104, and 114, removed the metal, increased the rocker, added a brand-new THC layup and the new Vision Collection was reborn. These changes resulted in incredibly lightweight yet stable skis for the uphill, with the versatility and performance that the Optic footprint offers for the downhill.
Designed with our new Bio-Resin Tech and FSC Certified Wood Cores, the Vision Collection doesn't just feature improved skiing performance; it also features new environmentally friendly materials.”
