Line Mr. Pollard's Opus freeride ski

The Line Opus freeride ski was developed by Eric Pollard over the last 13 years. His progressive powder skiing & innovative ski designs have created his best skis yet.

The Opus is a skinnier, stiffer, and more versatile ski than the EP Pro. But the Opus is still a playful ski that eats up powder and soft snow.

As Eric says, “Anyone can make a really fat ski float in powder, but making it also versatile enough to rip firm snow is where they all fall short.”

The Line Opus ski is a breakthrough in versatility within the powder ski category.

Line actually lowered the Early Rise tip geometry enabling it to PLANE INSTEAD OF PLOW in the powder.

They also reduced the length of Early Taper putting 20% more Active Edge length in contact with the snow (MORE GRIP & LESS SLIP).

This better floating tip geometry allowed Line to actually reduce the width to 118mm for increased quickness and reduced weight.

ERIC POLLARD - "Over the past decade I have designed and skied over 100 different prototypes in search of skis that allow me to ride the mountain the way I want to. We have gone to every extreme from super fat 140mm to narrow, to super short, to over 200cm long, extreme Early Rise to no Early Rise, lots of side cuts to reverse sidecut, blunt tips, pointy tips. We have applied every flex pattern we can think of, mounted each ski in different locations and analyzed the differences over and over again, to learn so much from each ski. The new Opus and the Bacon are the culmination of the last 13 years of work. They blend a perfect mix of flex, sidecut, tip shape, overall shape/ footprint, mounting point, Early rise, Early taper, and camber. They are honestly the best skis I have ever skied."
