ince 1995 we’ve focused on two things – going skiing and building skis for people that want to have more fun skiing. That’s all we do, it’s all we know, and it’s what has enabled us to progress the sport further then anyone could have imagined ten years ago.
HERE’S OUR STORY
The catalyst behind Line’s creation and our mission still today is the simple concept that a skier needs innovative product to progress their riding and the sport. All of today’s most popular action sports grew in popularity thanks to this evolution in the 80’s and 90’s. Unfortunately, this was not the case with our favorite sport of skiing. Through the years, ski designs hadn’t changed outside of graphics and model names. They were all long, pointy, straight, stiff, essentially designed for elite Olympic racers to go faster on ice around poles wearing spandex.
Besides restrictive product, skiing was also promoted as a much more traditional & conservative sport relative to snowboarding. This ultimately drove the majority of new winter sport customers to buy snowboards. Even many long time skiers became bored and made the switch. As snowboarding grew in popularity, resorts began creating “snowboard parks” where snowboarders could hit jumps, rails, ride pipe, while skiers weren’t even allowed in. Can you imagine a time when there were signs at the top of the park that said “NO SKIERS ALLOWED”. The “ski” industry completely ignored what skiing could become. Its future wasn’t looking very bright.
